Angelina Jolie, 49, who recently essayed the role of the opera singer Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín's ‘Maria’, was paired opposite Cynthia Erivo, 37, who portrayed the Wicked Witch, Elphaba, in Jon Chu's film adaptation of ‘Wicked’, for the December 12, Thursday, interview.
Highlighting the difference between filming a musical and performing on Broadway, Erivo shared, "I think with Broadway, you have people who are only so close then you have to perform to the back of the house," per BuzzFeed.
The British actress explained, "You want them to read everything. You want them to read the emotions," while adding that singing in front of the camera was new for her.
Jolie, who had a noticeably opposite experience, shared her views on learning to sing opera being a mainstream actress.
The ‘Salt’ star said, "Sometimes people keep quoting me because I made — not the mistake — I admitted it was like a therapy. It was the finding my voice and letting my voice out; that was really hard for me. I was really emotional about it.”
