Did You Know?
| Trivia | As Julianne Moore is not a trained opera singer, she was coached to lip synch for her singing scenes. Although she has some singing experience, and has sung before in movies, she cannot sing the vocally demanding genre of opera. Reneé Fleming, a soprano, provided the singing voice for Moore.
