The tribute will honor Jolie’s rendition of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas.

“Like the legendary figure she portrays, Angelina Jolie transcends mere performance to craft something extraordinary. Her interpretation captures both Maria Callas’s complexity as an artist and the cultural resonance that defines an icon,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham. “We are thrilled to celebrate what is truly one of Ms. Jolie’s career-defining performances in the final installment of Pablo Larrain’s magnificent trilogy.”

The film premiered to critical acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, and Jolie’s performance continues to stun audiences at the New York Film Festival, the London Film Festival, and AFI. “Maria” will be in select theaters on November 27th and will be streamed on Netflix on December 11th.
