Actress Angelina Jolie is set to return to the big screen, portraying the late, famed opera singer Maria Callas in director Pablo Larrain’s forthcoming biopic titled “Maria.” Prior to accepting this role, Jolie had to rebuild her self-assurance as a vocalist. In a recent interview, she admitted that she initially felt ‘anxious’ about singing in the film. It was also disclosed that Jolie had ceased singing after a former critic harshly criticized her voice, causing her to question her singing talent. Keep reading for more intriguing details!

In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Angelina Jolie shared insights into playing Maria Callas in her recent movie, titled Maria. She also reminisced about a past personal experience, revealing that she once had a partner who was unsupportive of her singing abilities. As a result, she felt unsure about her own vocal talents and believed she might not be able to sing well.

In her own words, the actress who played Maleficent acknowledged that despite her theater school background, she was taken aback by the critical comments about her voice from a previous relationship. Jolie confessed that she had adjusted to that person’s viewpoint and needed to conquer numerous obstacles before she felt confident enough to sing once more.

During the recording process for her role in The Eternals, the actress admitted she was surprisingly timid. She pointed out that although her sons Maddox and Pax were present on set, there were relatively few individuals around because opera singing necessitates performing loudly, which reduces the number of people present.

Actress Jolie admitted that she practiced extensively both during the night and the following morning. She confessed that she felt quite anxious initially, yet she didn’t wish to disappoint the team. Furthermore, she mentioned that the experience was far beyond her usual comfort zone, making her feel quite exhilarated.

At the 2024 Venice Film Festival, Angelina Jolie and director Pablo Larrain premiered their new film, Maria, at the Sala Grande Theater. During this event, Jolie’s performance garnered an impressive 8-minute standing ovation.

According to People magazine, the film portrays the “stormy, enchanting, and sorrowful” biography of the world’s most renowned opera singer, Maria Callas, during her latter years in 1970s Paris. Besides Angelina Jolie, the movie also stars Alba Rohrwacher, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Haluk Bilginer, Pierfrancesco Favino, Valeria Golino, and Alessandro Bressanello.
