- TriviaAngelina Jolie, refusing to be dubbed and wishing to perform her own singing, took 7 months of opera lessons to prepare for her role. For the scenes set during Callas' heyday, an estimated 90 to 95 percent of Callas' original recordings were used, with Jolie lip-synching. However, Jolie's singing comes to the fore during the film's final act.
- GoofsIt is stated that Maria had her first leading role in Venice in 1949, playing the role of Elvira in "I puritani". Actually, it was in Athens in 1942, the part of Marta in "Tiefland".
