When asked whether she sees the role as a potential path to a second Oscar, Jolie emphasized, "For me, the bar in this, where I would know if I did good enough, are the Maria Callas fans and those who love opera, and my fear would be to disappoint them."

She added, "So of course all other things and in my own business if there's a response to the work, I'm very grateful. But in my heart, to disappoint the people who love her and who she means a lot to, and her legacy, I came to care for her. I didn't want to do a disservice to this woman."
