Jolie Nominated for Golden Globe for Role as Maria Callas

Angelina Jolie has been making headlines for her dedication to her latest role as opera singer Maria Callas. The actress revealed that she spent months learning to sing opera in order to accurately portray the iconic diva on screen. In the film, Jolie’s voice is mixed with recordings of Callas’s own, creating a seamless blend of their voices.

Her hard work paid off as she was recently nominated for a Golden Globe award for her performance as Maria. Speaking about her training for the role, Jolie emphasized the importance of authenticity when it comes to opera singing. “You really can’t fake opera. It has to be a full-body experience in order for it to be believable,” she explained.

Despite the challenges of mastering opera singing, Jolie found moments of liberation in the process. “The thing with opera is you have to sing it pretty loud. I’ve had my moments when everybody’s gone out, because then I get to be loud,” she shared.

Delving into the emotional complexity of Maria Callas’s life was also a daunting task for Jolie. “I was not sure I was ready to visit that level of truth and pain. I can see her love of her work, but I can also see that there was a level of pressure and pain that she experienced,” she revealed.

As Jolie continues to garner praise for her transformative performance, it is clear that her dedication to the role has paid off. Her portrayal of Maria Callas is a testament to her talent and commitment to her craft.
