Angelina Jolie returns… on Netflix!

She acts and sings!

Two years after her role in Eternals, Angelina Jolie returns to the small screen with the film Maria, to be released on Netflix on December 11. She plays Maria Callas, the 20th-century opera icon, in an intimate account of the Greek-American soprano’s last days before her death in 1977.

The film promises an immersion into the life of this legend, touching on her final reflections, her artistic triumphs, and the torments that marked her private life.

The life of Maria Callas, marked by as much glamour as tumult, continues to fascinate, and the film Maria, starring Angelina Jolie, puts the spotlight on this operatic icon. Considered the most acclaimed opera singer of her time, Callas lived a tormented existence, not least due to a strained relationship with her mother and a clandestine affair with a world-famous tycoon. Towards the end of her life, Callas withdrew from the stage, leading a reclusive life in Paris, where she died of a heart attack on September 16, 1977, at the age of 53.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Angelina Jolie shared her deep personal connection with Callas.

The film Maria is directed by Pablo Larraín, known for his sensitive biographical works Jackie and Spencer.

With Maria, Larraín completes his “Great Woman Trilogy”.
