Angelina Jolie's new photos from shooting "Maria" in Pyrgos

Angelina Jolie came to Greece in mid-October for the filming of the movie "Maria" and her photos as Maria Callas give a small "taste" of the appearance of the Hollywood star in the film.

In the snaps released on November 1, Angelina Jolie was "transformed" into the great Greek soprano, with her hair in a high bun and wearing a flowing robe, reminiscent of Callas' style.

Together with the actress, her children, Pax and Maddox, traveled to Pyrgos.

See the photos from the "Apollo" Theater:

As she left the theatre, she headed to the car with her son, Maddox.

However, she did not fail to greet her fans, who were gathered around the car and gave her a standing ovation as she stopped to smile for the cameras.

She then entered the production limousine and departed for Katakolo, where filming would continue.

Previously, the local media Patris News published videos, but also a video of the actress' arrival at the theatre.

Jolie has played famous people before: In 1998 she starred as tragic supermodel Gia Carangi in Gia and in 2007 she starred as Mariana Pearl in the film A Mighty Heart.

The director, who is best known for the bio pictures Jackie (about Jackie Kennedy, played by Natalie Portman) and Spencer (about Princess Diana, played by Kristen Stewart), said: 'Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream,' LarraĆ­n said.

'To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity. A true gift.'
