Synopsis:

The world first heard her voice in 1912, the year the Titanic went down. As we all know, Titanic’s tragedy was due to an iceberg; while Florence’s… there was no one able to tune her up.

Even though, Florence’s story is far from being a tragedy. Florence succeeded in landing in one of the most significant musical harbors in the world: New York’s Carnagie Hall. She sang a whole concert in a sold-out theatre: a great achievement considering that she couldn’t sing at all.
