Inva Mula

Inva Mula is Albania's great operatic export, and her story has a lovely thread running through it. Born in Tirana to two opera singers, she became an internationally celebrated lyric soprano, yet most people have heard her without knowing it: she sang the impossible Diva Dance as Plavalaguna in The Fifth Element. That blend of high-art credentials and a cult sci-fi moment delights me. Coming out of Albania's isolated cultural scene to grace the world's opera houses is no small feat. She's a reminder that a true voice finds its audience whatever the borders.
