For Angelina Jolie, portraying the famed opera singer Maria Callas meant more to her than she can put into words.
Angelina Jolie arrives at the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024. “I felt such a privilege to feel like I got to know this woman and got to be inside her skin a moment. I really care for her deeply,” Jolie told The Associated Press a few hours the film’s world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival Thursday.
“Maria” is the so-called conclusion to this trilogy of historical women, though Callas may be a bit less known to younger generations who weren’t around for the headlines and scandals. Born Maria Kalogeropoulos to Greek parents in New York, the singer made her professional debut in Athens as a 17-year-old.
Jolie trained for six months to prepare for the role. The singing in the film is a blend of actor and the real thing.
