Gloria!

In singer-songwriter Margherita Vicario’s beautiful and rousing musical film, a group of confined young women in 18th century Venice use their musical talents to break free.

Gloria! is a soaring feel-good musical reimagining of history about a group of young women musicians who invent pop music in Baroque-era Venice. Set in a convent boarding school, Gloria! follows Teresa who has visionary musical abilities but whose gift remains unsung. Ahead of a visit to the convent by the Pope, Teresa helps to create a musical uprising and leaps across the centuries to defy the dusty old regime by inventing a rebellious, light, and modern music: pop!

“Gloria! is about people finding community in music and in using it to express feelings which are otherwise ignored. It is, with apologies, glorious.” – Sarah Manvel, In Their Own League
