Internationally renowned film actress Monica Bellucci is in Athens to perform the monologue “Maria Callas: Lettres & Memoires” by Tom Volf, which she will perform in French on the stage of the ancient Herod Atticus Odeon theatre beneath the Acropolis for three nights, on September 21-23, ANA reports.
Bellucci held a press conference for Greek journalists after her arrival on Sunday, talking about her initial hesitation when Tom Volf offered her the part, which was her first experience of acting in the theatre and “so different from the cinema”, and her love of Greece.
In the end, she added, she could resist as Callas’ letters were “filled with emotions, fragility, and honesty” and revealed a woman who had led a brave life, followed her heart, and had not compromised.
