Diana Damrau – Diva Divina: Nine Months With The German Opera Star

Synopsis

She is simply one of the best singers in the world,’ proclaimed the New York Sun triumphantly after another of Diana Damrau’s spectacular performances at the Metropolitan Opera. And while The Guardian gushed: ‘The German soprano…has become a cult figure,’ the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung noted succinctly: ‘Whoever says coloratura says Damrau.’ In private moments with her parents and her first teacher, Damrau talks about her childhood and youth, about her discovery of opera while watching TV, her early career and her international breakthrough in 2002 in roles such as Donna Anna and Zerbinetta. The film portrays an exciting, high-intensity, fast-paced jet-set life tempered by the harmony of a rewarding family life with her husband, her parents and, at the end of the film, with her brand-new baby!
