Monica Bellucci reveals why she took on role as opera singer Maria Callas in one-woman show
Italian actress Monica Bellucci and her one-woman show Maria Callas: Letters And Memoirs hits the stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for one night only on Friday, January 27.The stage show, which marks the star's first time acting in a play, has been an international hit since it began its run with Bellucci as the legendary opera singer at Paris' Théâtre Marigny in 2019.For Bellucci, who made her stage debut with Letters And Memoirs, she never thought the show would go on to become such a global phenomenon.'It was crazy, and we never expected to come to New York,' the native of Città di Castello, Umbria, Italy, 58, confessed to People. 'And it's such a sign that we came to New York because Callas was born in New York in 1923, and we finish the tour in 2023, 100 years later when she was born.
