Angelina Jolie reflects on portraying Maria Callas

Actor Angelina Jolie has discovered a profound connection with the legendary opera singer Maria Callas as she steps into the role in the upcoming biopic ‘Maria’. Speaking with ‘People’ magazine at the American Film Institute Festival premiere in Hollywood, Jolie shared insights into her character and her personal reflections on loneliness and dedication.

For Angelina Jolie, portraying the famed opera singer Maria Callas meant more to her than she can put into words.

The film focuses on the final week of her life in 1977, in Paris. She is deeply isolated, with only her butler (Pierfrancesco Favino) and housemaid (Alba Rohrwacher) looking after her – concerned about her health, the drugs and the devastating ripple effects of her diminished voice.

Directed by Pablo Larrain, known for films like ‘Jackie’ and ‘Spencer’, ‘Maria’ portrays Callas’ retreat to Paris following a glamorous yet tumultuous life in the public eye.

The film also features a talented cast, including Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alba Rohrwacher, Pierfrancesco Favino, and Valeria Golino.

Maria Callas, who passed away in Paris in 1977 at the age of 53, remains an enduring figure in the world of opera, and her story resonates deeply with audiences.

‘Maria’ is set to hit select theaters on November 27, before becoming available on Netflix on December 11.
