Angelina Jolie is certainly making an impact.

The Academy Award-winning actress stars as the legendary opera singer Maria Callas in the biopic “Maria,” and she was received warmly at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado on Monday.

After the film screening, Jolie, along with director Pablo Larraín and cinematographer Edward Lachman, was met with an enthusiastic standing ovation from the audience, as shown in clips circulating on social media.

According to People magazine, Jolie seemed genuinely surprised by this warm reception, covering her mouth and placing a hand over her heart as she expressed her gratitude to those in attendance.

This positive feedback follows Jolie’s appearance at the 81^st Venice International Film Festival, where the movie premiered to high praise. As reported by Variety on social media, a video depicts her becoming emotional during a standing ovation that reportedly lasted eight minutes.

Jolie’s remarkable portrayal of Callas contrasts with the film’s nerve-wracking beginning. During a discussion panel at Telluride, the actress openly shared the anxiety she felt preparing for her role in the musical.

“I spent seven months taking opera and Italian classes with wonderful teachers, and I had a supportive team ready to assist me,” Jolie revealed, as quoted by People. However, on her first day singing on set, “I was so anxious that morning, it felt overwhelming.”

‘Maria’ star Angelina Jolie recalls ex who was ‘not kind to’ her about her singing

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie admitted that her nerves about singing in the film were fueled by an ex who instilled doubt in her musical talents.

“It felt surreal because I don’t usually sing,” Jolie shared with the publication. “There was someone in my life who was harsh about my singing. It was a past relationship, so I just figured I couldn’t sing well at all.”

She chose not to disclose the identity of that person.

“Having attended theater school, it was odd that their opinion affected me,” she continued. “I had to overcome a lot of mental barriers before I could sing freely.”

While participating in a press event at the Venice Film Festival, Jolie expressed her primary concern was not to let fans of Callas and opera down.

“I was most afraid of disappointing them,” she admitted, adding, “I wanted to honor this incredible woman.”

“Maria” is anticipated to have a broader release on Netflix, although a specific date has yet to be announced.
