Florence Foster Jenkins vs. Joan Sutherland

Florence Foster Jenkins was a bit of an anomaly. A 19th-century socialite, she took up amateur opera singing after a receiving a sizable inheritance and became the butt of jokes due to her lack of rhythm, tone, range and pitch. Yet despite her shortcomings, she still made it to Carnegie Hall. As you'll hear in this collection, Jenkins is no Dame Joan Sutherland, whose graceful voice wowed the opera world throughout the 20th century. Hear the two divas, often tackling the same works, side by side.
