Florence Foster Jankinswas an American soprano singer in the early twentieth century. With poor singing skills, but excellent entertainment talents, Jenkins was very confident and compared himself with the famous American soprano at the time. Soprano Frida Hempel and Ruiza Tetrazzini are comparable, and they don't mind the ridicule from the audience during the performance.
She has a strict choice of her performance venue, usually in the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom in New York City. The audience of the concert is also limited to their loyal members and some invited guests, and even everyone who decides the tickets themselves. At the age of 76, Florence Foster Jankins asked for a performance at Carnegie Hall. People were looking forward to the performance, so the tickets sold out early

Carlo Edwards: Let me know when you've fixed a date.
