The producers were looking for an actress who fit the description of Cynthia Hawkins (the Diva) in the original novel - a beautiful black American woman who sings a flawless operatic soprano, and speaks both English and French fluently. They attended a performance of Carmen to familiarize themselves with opera performers. Wilhelmenia Fernandez was playing the title role the night they attended the opera.
Wilhelmenia Fernandez did her own singing in this film.
The movie is based on the book by Delacorta, which is part of a series of stories in which Alba and Gorodish are the main characters.
The titular character was allegedly inspired by famous opera diva Jessye Norman.
First feature film directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix.
"Gorodish: Abyssus abyssum invocat Alba: What is Abyssus abyssum? Gorodish: It means the abyss calls the abyss"
"Le curé: I don't like elevators. Zatopek: You don't like anything."
