Master Class
Lessons From Opera’s Most Beloved Diva
A young singer steps on stage. Maria Callas tears her apart - then builds her back up again, stronger. Welcome to Master Class, Terrence McNally’s Tony Award-winning drama about the price of artistic greatness. Featuring arias from Tosca, Macbeth, and La sonnambula, Master Class is a searing yet funny exploration of talent, sacrifice, and why some voices stay with us forever.
“…one of the most haunting portraits of life after stardom.” – The New York Times
“As a portrait of the artist and as a plea for excellence, commitment and beauty, Master Class succeeds brilliantly.” - Los Angeles Times
“McNally creates a fascinating dialogue… ironic and full of humor.” – Huffington Post
