Angelina Jolie stars as iconic singer Maria Callas in director, Pablo Larraín’s operatic drama about the performer’s final days. It is the final instalment of his  trilogy highlighting impactful women in the 20th century, the other films being Jackie (about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) and Spencer (about Princess Diana).

Maria Callas is one of the most revered performers of the 20th century. The film follows the American Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye, reimagining the legendary diva in her final days as she reckons with her identity and life.

Trivia: Angelina Jolie was Pablo Larraín's first and only choice to play Maria Callas, and would not have directed the film without her.

Jolie, refusing to be dubbed and wishing to perform her own singing, took 7 months of opera lessons to prepare for her role. For the scenes set during Callas' heyday, an estimated 90 to 95 percent of Callas' original recordings were used, with Jolie lip-synching along to these songs. However, Jolie's singing comes to the fore during the film's final act.
