    There is no reason for an actress who isn't a singer to play one of the
    most popular sopranos from that era. Just listening to her speaking
    voice strongly suggests that she's not going to have Callas's range.

    You want to hear Callas sing? Buy a recording.

    This movie should be transferred to nitrate film stock.

    It takes a bit more than pipes to plausibly play Callas - I certainly
    could not imagine Taylor Swift playing Callas for example and while I
    do not like Swift personally there's no question she has "pipes"
