Diva Dolorosa

Peter Delpeut previously made several highly acclaimed films and television programs in which he reworked archival footage. In ‘Diva Dolorosa’ his aim is to compose with fragments from Italian diva films from the teens, ‘the ultimate diva film’. The result is a work of hysterical beauty, a dramatic insight in the desires and passions of its female protagonists. Composer Loek Dikker wrote a lyrical, romantic symphonic score for the film, which will be performed live in the Ghent Opera House by the National Belgian Orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé.
