VENICE — US actor Angelina Jolie had to learn how to sing opera to prepare for playing Maria Callas , one of the greatest sopranos of all time, saying on Thursday that it was the most demanding role of her career."Maria," directed by Pablo Larraín, chronicles Callas's final days in Paris when she was addicted to anti-anxiety drugs. It recalls the high and low notes of her tumultuous past when she wowed audiences around the world with her astonishing voice.
Larrain has said that when Callas is heard in the film in her prime, 95% is taken from the soprano's original recordings, but when we hear her at the end of her life, it is mostly Jolie's own voice we are listening to."She did a lot of singing lessons, incredibly, and sang from morning to night. We were really touched, we cried during the shoot," said Alba Rohrwacher, who plays Callas' adoring housekeeper.
