However, after mid-1990 she began using the name Inva Mula, and never returned to the old one . They are now divorced . Her current husband is Hetem Ramadani, a businessman from Kosovo . </P> <P> Mula is perhaps best known to Western filmgoers as the voice of the Diva Plavalaguna (played on - screen by Maïwenn Le Besco) in the 1997 film The Fifth Element, where she is credited using her (then) married name as Inva Mulla Tchako . She performed the aria "Oh, giusto cielo!...Il dolce suono" (the mad scene) from Gaetano Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and "The Diva Dance". </P> <P> Director Luc Besson adored Maria Callas, but the sound quality of her 1956 EMI Classics recording of "Lucia" wasn't clear enough to use on a film soundtrack, so Callas's agent Michel Glotz, who had produced this recording, introduced him to Mula . </P>
