Jolie stars in “Maria”, directed by Pablo Larraín The late opera singer Maria Callas,
She burst into tears when the film received an 8-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival on August 29.
In her interview with THR, Jolie said she learned a lot about her voice during seven months of learning opera singing.
“I thought I had a low voice my whole life. I was explaining (to the singing coach) that I had a deeper voice, and she said, 'No, you're actually a soprano,'” she said.
“And maybe something happened. When you go through different things in your life your voice changes. So it was a shock. It was very weird,” Jolie said.

“I've never had a set where my family wasn't allowed to be there because I was concentrating – I'm not that kind of person,” she said. “You could climb on me or come and visit me. It really meant a lot that my sons were with me on 'Maria'. When I was having a really heavy time, they would come and hug me or give me a cup of tea.”
“That was probably the most profound thing that — usually when I express this much pain, it's not in front of my kids,” Jolie continued. “You really try to hide from your kids how much pain and sadness you carry. And so when you're expressing it on this level and they're with you, I think it was the first time they've ever heard me cry like that. It's usually in the shower.”
