Happy #FilmMusicFriday! Today we celebrate one of the best #TB 90’s films ever made, ‘The Fifth Element’ composed by Eric Serra. Within this incredible scene performed by the great Diva Plavalaguna, Serra mixed ‘The Diva Dance’ with Gaetano Donizetti’s original aria ‘Il dolce suono’ from Act III scene 2 from ‘Lucia di Lammermoor’. It is a beautiful, melodic (and fun) mix between the original operatic structure leading to an awesome pop twist. QUESTION: Can you find the moment when the cues change?
