The plot is based on speculation that there is a phonograph recording of Adelina Patti from 1895 performing “Bursts of laughter” aria from Auber's comic opera "Manon". In reality, according to opinion of many experts, on this cylinder recorded French signer Lucette Korsoff and brothers Pathe probably for the sake of joke presented it as Patti record as it is announced at the beginning of the record. That is why the real events from the life of Adelina Patti are intertwined with fake ones, and in order to catch with invention of the cinema the year of action was moved to 1896. However, this does not diminish the artistic value of the movie.
Evelyna Malcheva is starred as Adelina Patti, Dimitar Malchev in all other roles.
