Angelina Jolie is having her operatic moment.
The actor graced Venice, Italy on Thursday for the world premiere of her new film, "Maria," at the Venice International Film Festival. The biopic, for which Jolie serves as the titular character, focuses on the isolated final days of the legendary Maria Callas, an American-born Greek soprano singer whose illustrious career spanned from the mid- to late 20th century. Born Maria Kalogeropoulos in Queens, New York, the singer got her start in the industry as a teenager, performing in Athens, Greece.
