Dive into the world of high-stakes vocal coaching with Terrence McNally's Tony Award-winning play, Master Class. Set in the 1970s, the play centers around the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, nearing the end of her career, leading a master class for aspiring singers.
Master Class isn't your typical feel-good teacher-student story. Callas, a passionate and demanding mentor, pushes her students to their limits. She critiques their technique, challenges their emotional connection to the music, and recounts her own triumphs and tribulations in the cutthroat world of opera. Through her fiery and often barbed commentary, Callas imparts valuable lessons about dedication, vulnerability, and the pursuit of artistic excellence.

Greece's most prominent film director of the post-1968 era, Theo Angelopoulos (1935–2012) was a master cinema stylist. His investigations into history and politics, tyranny and resistance, and spiritual anomie and emotional devastation place him on equal footing with filmmakers like Andrei Tarkovsky, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Wim Wenders. Today, at a time when Greece has struggled with impending economic collapse, and as the country's refugee crisis has worsened, with displaced populations fleeing war in the Middle East and massing on its borders, the themes of Angelopoulos's cinema are pressing once again. Museum of the Moving Image will present Eternity and History: The Cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, a complete retrospective of the director's career—the first in the United States in 25 years—from July 8 through 24, 2016. The retrospective will also be presented at the Harvard Film Archive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from July 15 through August 22. The presentation of the retrospective at Museum of the Moving Image was made possible with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the Hellenic American Chamber of Commerce.
