The Fifth Element Diva

The diva in the movie, "The Fifth Element" embodies a great example of how opera is used to illustrate stories and emotions. The film is shot so that it seems like she is singing the story as it happens. The expressions of the diva allude to the distress of the situation.
The diva also makes opera relatable as a fine art form.  Even in the future, opera would still be considered a beautiful, revered work of art.  Also, it does not have to be in a recognizable language for it to be meaningful.
