Movie Roles The Only Role That I've Ever Heard Of Inva Starring In Is In The Movie The Fifth Element As The Singing Voice Of The Diva Plavalaguna Who Was Actually Played On The Screen By French Actress Maïwenn Le Besco. During The Movie Inva Sang An Aria Of Gaetano Donizetti's Opera Lucia Di Lammermoor. Except It Looks Like Maïwenn Is Singing It Because -- You Get The Idea. Until I Saw The Credits I Thought That She Did Sing It. Ms. Tchako's Voice Is Also Used In The Later Part Of The Opera Known As The Diva Dance...It's The Funky Techno-Ish Part When Leeloo Is Bashing Hell Out Of A Bunch Of Mangalores. read less
