The Royal Ballet and Opera will present a special Maria Callas Tour on January 18 and 19, 2025, in celebration of the upcoming release of the film Maria on January 10. The event will showcase costumes worn by Angelina Jolie in the biographical film, designed by Massimo Cantini Parrini.

Maria premiered at the Venice Film Festival in late 2024 and was released in the U.S. shortly after. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film has received favorable reviews, with 76% of critics giving it a positive rating. The site notes that "Angelina Jolie unveils new emotional depths in Pablo Larraín's Maria, maintaining the film's intrigue even when the melodrama falters." The biopic offers a dramatic reimagining of the legendary opera singer's final days.

The film has earned nominations for the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards, with Jolie's performance being the focal point of the awards campaign. Many expect her to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress when the nominations are announced later this month.
