To celebrate the UK cinema premiere of MARIA starring Angelina Jolie on 10 January 2025, the Royal Ballet and Opera will host an exclusive tour honouring Maria Callas’ time in Covent Garden.
Featuring rare behind-the-scenes access, the tour will give visitors unprecedented insight into Maria Callas’ life and her onstage career at Covent Garden. The tour will also give visitors an exclusive, up-close look at two costumes worn by Angelina Jolie in MARIA, designed by the celebrated costume designer Massimo Cantini Parrini.
From acclaimed director Pablo Larraín (Spencer), MARIA tells the tumultuous, beautiful, and tragic story of the life of the world’s greatest female opera singer, relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris.
Maria Callas had a storied career at the Royal Opera House. From making her Covent Garden debut in Norma in 1952 to performing her last ever opera to a packed London audience in Tosca in 1965, Callas’ performances at the Royal Opera House are still revered as some of the best of all time. She describes her time at the Royal Opera House as a “love affair”, and Maria Callas’ story is incomplete without mentioning her iconic performances on the Main Stage.
Running for one weekend only on 18 January and 19 January 2025, tickets for this special edition tour are on sale now.
