Description
A legendary figure in the world of opera, the diva is feted as no other singer. Diva means goddess, and her voice certainly seems to come from another world, but a diva can also be temperamental, glamorous and larger-than-life. Everyone speaks in this film, including (archive) Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland and Jessye Norman, their drivers, stage doormen, admirers, svengalis, business managers and conductors. Then, of course, there's the music.

Seán Ó Sé’s long and illustrious career as "a giant of Irish music" has touched all bases in the Irish music business. His unique, unforgettable tenor voice was nurtured in a family of singers. Seán’s voice first reached a wide audience in Ireland in the 1960s working with composer Seán Ó Riada in the group Ceoltóirí Chualann which catapulted Irish traditional music onto the concert stage and into the international arena. The film explores Seán’s musical life within the contexts of his deep attachment to the Irish language, West Cork and the Beara peninsula, and his passion for his career in teaching and education administration in Cork City. The film features live performances and interviews with longtime associates from the worlds of music and education.
