Synopsis

Based on a true story. In the early 1700s, Antonio Vivaldi, then a young priest, battled the church and his own personal demons to transform a school of orphaned girls into an orchestra that played Europe's greatest concert halls and, ultimately, for the pope.

Elle's Character

Cristina is the youngest and most difficult orphan of the Ospedale. As a lone mute she takes refuge in secluding herself and avoiding human contact. She keeps escaping the Ospedale trying to see her mother, in one of the bordellos of Venice. However, Vivaldi sees more in her and personally takes care of her. He miraculously teaches her how to use her voice, and not only to talk but to sing, and how beautifully she sings. He transforms this girl from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, and the most envied and talented girl in the whole choir. It's in the final concerto, whilst listening to Cristina's moving solo, that The Countess and Norina realise it's not too late to make up, and repair the past and their relationship.
