Monica Bellucci as Maria Callas

They're talking about it...

"Callas by Bellucci, another Tom Volf coup! At the end of last year, Monica Bellucci read extracts from Maria Callas's letters on stage at the Studio Marigny. This time, the Italian actress is back for a dozen performances. Behind the operation is Tom Volf, currently the all-time champion of Callassomania, who not only selected the texts but also directed the show.

"This dress and Monica's spectacular transformation, as well as the play of light and shade, give us the feeling of truly being in Callas's salon, whose spirit reappears for a brief moment to share, through Maria's words, a moment of intimacy with her audience".
