DESCRIPTION:Jul 8 - Sep 27\, 2026\nPablo Larraín’s Maria (2024)—a biop
 ic about Maria Callas’s final days in Paris\, starring Angelina Jolie—
 required costumes that conjured the expressive might of a woman who unders
 tood that appearance was also a form of performance. The Italian costume d
 esigner Massimo Cantini Parrini\, who dressed Jolie for the film\, is now 
 presenting 18 of those costumes at the Benaki Museum\, in Athens\, organiz
 ed in collaboration with students from Polimoda\, the Florence fashion sch
 ool where he studied and now teaches. It is a fitting city for the show\, 
 as Callas was the daughter of Greek immigrants in New York City. Born in 1
 923\, she returned to Athens with her mother in 1937\, hoping to study at 
 the Athens Conservatoire\; she didn’t gain entrance there until a second
  audition\, in 1939. At age 15\, Callas began her climb to opera’s Olymp
 us\, where she reigned as the most celebrated soprano of the 20th century.
