She said:”How did you do it?!” She didn’t understand how I could make sounds that were impossible to sing. After their first hearing both turned back and asked: “Can we hear it again?” After the second time they turned back again and they were amazed. Editing it, I felt like a child fooling around with something sacred! I sat them in front of my console. Very high ranked people in a musical environment that I knew little about but for which I had nothing but admiration. When the time of the validation came I was impressed,I was facing Maria Callas’ and the Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan’s agent and a magnificent opera singer. When I explained them what I was going to do they didn’t quite understand but they decided to trust me. “She sang 85% of what I thought was technically impossible” It might seem obvious nowadays but at the time many wondered how I did it. I then sampled and edited her voice a bit. She sang 85% of what I thought was technically impossible. We sat down and she started to sing, I was overwhelmed. I was astonished, the beauty of her tone of voice and the perfection of her singing gave me shivers down the spine. In the studio before even taking her coat off she started humming from the music sheet.

I had never worked with an opera singer before, I didn’t quite realize the technical ability they had, I thought that only 60% of the song was actually possible to sing. The Futuristic Opera - Pop Diva Dance Track from the movie The Fifth Element sung by Holly Thody (Holly Anne Thody), this is without the aria beforehand. So I purposely wrote un-singable things, some too low, some too high, sentences that were too fast, I would then arrange it with the sampler. For the scene to work, we needed her to sound like an alien, thereforee we had to create notes that no human could sing. Today she is in the world’s top ten sopranos. When the scene is shot she is a young talented soprano, yet her agent was Maria Callas‘ one too, showing, if need to be, that she was already a promising artist. Although they failed to safely deliver the Fifth Element to Earth themselves, they did separate the Fifth Element from the Elemental Stones, preventing the loss of them all.In that scene Maïwenn plays the diva but the voice is not hers, it is the one of a true opera singer, the Albanian Inva Mula. The Mondoshawan are also excellent strategists and back-up planners.
Unfortunately, Mangalores hired by Zorg shot down the Mondoshawan ship as it passed Jupiter in a vicious attack that left only one survivor, the Fifth Element, who was later retrieved by Human scouts and resurrected back in New York, Earth.Īlthough only the Mondoshawan accompanying the Fifth Element and Elemental Stones were seen, it is assumed there are other Mondoshawan.
Returning with the Fifth Element as they had promised, the Mondoshawan made their way to Earth as the Great Evil returned. The singer dressed up in blue as Diva Plavalaguna from 'The Fifth Element. The Leader (distinguished by the large spikes on his armor) was unfortunately shot at by the bewildered apprentice and was sealed in the chamber, but not before passing the Key to the Priest with the command "Pass the knowledge to the next priest as it was passed on to you." The Mondoshawan then left Earth, returning 300 years later. Janelle Mone channeled a popular 90's character for Halloween. When the priest asked why the Mondoshawan were taking Earth's only defense against Evil, the Leader replied "War is coming, stones not safe on Earth anymore". After rendering the archaeologist unconscious, the Mondoshawan proceeded to extract the stones and Fifth Element. Upon arriving, the ship's crew were greeted by the current Priest who assured them that the stones and Fifth Element were safe, despite an archaeologist and his apprentice investigating the chamber. In 1914, prior to the Outbreak of World War I, a Mondoshawan ship visited Earth, specifically the Chamber in Egypt. In the Divine language, the word 'Mondoshawan' translates as 'guardians'. Evil attempted to destroy the world 5000 years prior to the events of The Fifth Element, possibly multiple times - and perhaps even causing the Moon to form around Earth. A succession of Priests were established to protect the Fifth Element and the Chamber in Egypt. Little is known of what the Mondoshawan actually look like as they are only seen wearing an impenetrable gold-metallic armor.Īt some point in Ancient History, the Mondoshawan visited the Humans "before time was time". Although little is known of their homeworld or race it can be assumed it is some distance from Earth, remaining relatively secluded from the other races. Standing slightly taller than a Human, the Mondoshawan are quasi-biblical beings that serve as the caretakers of both the Four Elemental Stones (Water, Earth, Fire, Air) and guardians of the Fifth Element. The Mondoshawan are a race of aliens that are friendly to humans.
