The movie is based on the real-life story of Maria Callas, one of the greatest opera singers in the world. The film shines a light on her tubulous and tragic life and her final days in 1970s Paris. 

Angelina Jolie talked about learning to sing for the role in a press conference. She said, "Everybody here knows, I was terribly nervous. I spent almost seven months training because when you work with Pablo you can't do anything by half. He demands, in the most wonderful way, that you really do the work and you really learn and train."
