Angelina Jolie Plays Opera Diva Maria Callas. We Went With Her to the Met.

Angelina Jolie is known for her versatility as an actress, taking on a wide range of roles throughout her career. But her latest project may be her most challenging yet – playing the iconic opera diva Maria Callas in a new biopic.

To prepare for the role, Jolie has been immersing herself in the world of opera, studying Callas’s performances and taking singing lessons to perfect her vocal technique. And recently, she invited a select group of journalists to join her for a private tour of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, where she will be filming some of the movie’s key scenes.

As we walked through the grand halls of the Met, Jolie spoke passionately about her admiration for Callas and the impact she had on the world of opera. “Maria Callas was a true trailblazer, a woman who defied conventions and pushed the boundaries of what was possible in her art,” Jolie said. “I feel a deep connection to her and I want to do justice to her incredible legacy.”

Jolie also revealed that she has been working closely with opera experts to ensure that her portrayal of Callas is as authentic as possible. “I want to capture not just her vocal prowess, but also the emotional depth and vulnerability that she brought to her performances,” Jolie explained.

As we made our way to the stage, Jolie’s excitement was palpable. “This is where Maria Callas performed some of her most legendary roles,” she said, gazing out at the empty seats. “It’s a privilege to be able to stand here and imagine what it must have been like to see her in action.”

Jolie’s dedication to the role is evident in every detail, from her meticulous research to her rigorous training regimen. And as we watched her rehearse a scene from the film on the Met stage, it was clear that she has fully embodied the spirit of Maria Callas.

As the day drew to a close, Jolie reflected on the experience. “Playing Maria Callas has been a profound and humbling journey for me,” she said. “I hope that audiences will be able to feel the same sense of awe and inspiration that I do when they see the film.”

With Angelina Jolie at the helm, this new biopic promises to be a powerful tribute to one of the greatest opera singers of all time. And as we left the Met, it was clear that Jolie’s passion for the project will shine through in every frame.
