Still, Maria is a marvel to look at, unfolding in a Paris lit by pale September sun. It is 1977, and La Callas is a recluse, long gone from Covent Garden but never quite ruling out a comeback. Pills are popped. The butler frets.

At an intimate party in Soho recently, the designer Erdem Moralıoğlu introduced a screening of Maria (the Pablo Larraín-directed biopic centred around the last days of Maria Callas’s tumultuous life starring Angelina Jolie).

The "Maria" star also shared that she questioned whether her "light [was] dimmed" amid her contentious divorce from Brad Pitt.

Just days after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt settled their divorce after almost a decade of legal proceedings, the Maria actress is again drawing parallels between her life and that of the iconic opera singer Maria Callas.
