According to Variety, the Grammy-winning singer will make her feature film debut in Cry to Heaven, a new period drama directed by fashion designer and filmmaker Tom Ford.

The movie, based on Anne Rice’s 1982 novel, is set in 18th-century Italy and follows a Venetian noble and a castrated Calabrian singer as they chase fame and redemption in the world of opera.

Adele joins an impressive cast that includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Colin Firth.
