Maria (2024) soundtrack: A definitive guide to every song in the movie

The latest release from Netflix, Maria, just got its streaming premiere on December 11, 2024, bringing forth the story of the titular opera singer Maria Callas. Directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Steven Knight, the biographical drama follows the final years of the singer when she was living in Paris.

Through her connection to her music, the movie explores many themes that make for a compelling psychological drama. With Angelina Jolie leading the line as the titular character, the movie had already received critical acclaim on its first premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2024. It even competed for the Golden Lion.

The movie has so many elements that stand out, but hardly anything beats the music, which is the driving factor and the backbone of the narrative. Of course, as is fitting with the story, the soundtrack contains an expansive number of operas, some of which were also performed by Angelina Jolie herself.

Without further ado, let us go over the entire song list for the movie.
