Managing Maria Callas's late career has left Larry Kelly (Academy Award® winner Jeremy Irons) scorched by the temperamental opera star's brilliant fire. Visiting her palatial Paris apartment, Kelly is shocked to find a broken and reclusive Callas (a luminous Fanny Ardant, reprising her stage portrayal), humiliated by the deterioration of her voice. Determined to re-ignite her passion and restore her legacy, he convinces her to take on an important project: a film of the opera Carmen, in which she will lip-sync her own, glorious recording of many years previous.
The special relationship between Callas and her former manager forms the heart of this compelling fictional imagining of the diva's swan song, written and directed by the late Callass friend and colleague, Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet), in a worthy tribute to his legendary friend.
