Christiana Aloneftis is a Greek-Cypriot Australian soprano and film actress, recognised for her "exceptionally warm, expressive soprano voice" and "poise and graceful, nuanced phrasing" (Joyce DiDonato). 

A rising star in both opera and film, Christiana has been described by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute as possessing a “gorgeous, resonant soprano voice” with “strong musical and dramatic commitment.” She makes her film debut in the highly anticipated biopic Maria (2024), in which she shares the role of the legendary Maria Callas with Angelina Jolie. Christiana portrays the young Callas at her international debut at Teatro La Fenice di Venice, capturing the early, transformative years of the iconic opera singer. Directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Stephen Knight, the film explores the final days of Callas' life. Christiana’s scenes were shot at the Hungarian State Opera in Budapest, and the film premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival this past summer.

The young talent’s growing presence in both opera and film position her as a powerful emerging international talent with a unique artistic profile; bridging the worlds of high art across both music and cinema.
