Master Class is Terrence McNally's homage to Maria Callas, world-renowned American-born Greek soprano. Inspired by a series of master classes she conducted at Juilliard, the play depicts the opera diva as she retreats into recollections about the glories, triumphs, and tragedies of her own life and career.
The show stars Emmy and Tony Award® winning actress Tyne Daly as Maria Callas. The show will run through April 18th.
The original production of Master Class premiered at the John Golden Theatre on November 5, 1995 and ran for 598 performances. The production won three Tony Awards® including Best Play, Best Actress in a Play, and Best Featured Actress in a Play. Prior to its run on Broadway, Master Class starring Zoe Caldwell and Audra MacDonald appeared at the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater from September 14, 1995 - October 22, 1995.
Performances of Master Class will run through April 18, 2010 in the Eisenhower Theater. Tickets range from $25-$80 and go on sale October 28, 2009 at the Kennedy Center box office, by calling Instant Charge at (202) 467-4600, or online.
