The film tells the story of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. Jolie dedicated several months of intense preparation to the role.
She expressed that immersing herself in the world of opera was therapeutic. It allowed her to confront emotions she had kept hidden.

For me, the immense feelings captured in opera are unmatched; there’s nothing quite like it,” the star expressed.

She worked closely with vocal coaches and opera singers to master the techniques required for her character.

She connected with Callas’s vulnerability, which resonated with her feelings during this turbulent time in her life.
‘I had no idea how much I was holding in and not letting out.
So the challenge wasn’t technical, it was an emotional experience to find my voice, to be in my body, to express.
You have to give every single part of yourself,’ Jolie said.
