Inva Mula (born June 27, 1963) is an Albanian opera lyric soprano. She began her soprano career at a very early age. Her father (Avni Mula) and mother (Nina Mula) were also opera singers. She is also widely known in popular culture for portraying the voice of the Diva Plavalaguna in the film ''The Fifth Element''. ==Life and career== Mula was born in Tirana, Albania. In 1987 she won the ''Cantante d'Albania'' competition in Tirana and in 1988 the George Enescu Competition in Bucharest. In 1992 she won the ''Butterfly'' Competition in Barcelona. She received an award at Plácido Domingo's first ''Operalia International Opera Competition'' contest in Paris, 1993. A CD of the event was released. She later performed in various concerts with the famous tenor at the Opéra Bastille in Paris, and in Brussels for Europalia Mexico, in Munich, and in Oslo. In 1996 she performed Luigi Cherubini's opera ''Médée'' (which was taped for TV) at Compiègne in France. She then returned for Georges Bizet's opera ''La Jolie fille de Perth'' (released CD, filmed for TV, and released DVD in Japan) in 1998. After this she recorded Puccini's ''La Rondine'' with Angela Gheorghiu for EMI and for 2005's stage production she took Gheorghiu's place in the leading role of Magda during performances in Toulouse and Paris. Later on, she performed Bizet's ''Ivan IV'' concert version, which had its recital debut at Salle Pleyel in Paris, and a live recording was released as CD. In 2001, she was busy in Italy, performing Verdi's ''Falstaff'' at the Teatro alla Scala and ''Rigoletto'' at the Verona Arena, both of which were taped for TV then released on DVD. Mula has sung in ''Lucia di Lammermoor'', ''La bohème'', and ''Manon'', among others. She is also a renowned Violetta in ''La Traviata'', and has sung the role in many cities around the world, including Tokyo, Bilbao, Orange, Trieste, and Toronto. In 2007, she performed Adina in ''L'elisir d'amore'' at Toulouse, and in 2009 she sang the title role in Gounod's ''Mireille'' with the Paris Opera at the Palais Garnier, a performance that was issued on DVD.

ISBN 978 2 3505 5192 0〕 Her ex-husband Pirro Çako is a well-known singer and composer from Albania, so she used the spelling Tchako rather than Çako. However, after mid-1990 she began using the name Inva Mula, and never returned to the old one. They are now divorced. Her current husband is Hetem Ramadani, a businessman from Kosovo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inva Mula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
