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.
