    • Trivia
      Angelina Jolie, refusing to be dubbed and wishing to perform her own singing, took 7 months of opera lessons to prepare for her role. For the scenes set during Callas' heyday, an estimated 90 to 95 percent of Callas' original recordings were used, with Jolie lip-synching along to these songs. However, Jolie's singing comes to the fore during the film's final act.
    • Goofs
      In the third part of the movie, a Citroën 2cv Charleston gray-black is parked in the background. The car was first presented on the Paris Carshow in 1980, 3 years after La Callas death..
    • Quotes

      Maria Callas: Book me a table at a café where the waiters know who I am. I'm in the mood for adulation.

    Breathe!

    I am sure this film was made with great care and love, BUT what it lacked the most of, in my opinion is BREATH.

    Opera singers learn how to controle their breath so to captivate ours. And I agree with the other less favourable reviews that the opening scene really was a bad example of lip-synching particularly because I could not see ms Jolie breathe!

    Of course La Callas lived a glamorous life but to me the focus seemed to be more directed towards the visual in this movie.

    This is a film that made me stop watching it to the end, and I am sorry for it. I too had high hopes for these two iconic ladies.
