Master Class
It’s not easy to make great art—especially great art about great artists. But Terrence McNally did just that with Master Class, his Tony-winning play-with-music about the life of soprano Maria Callas. The drama peers into a Juilliard classroom near the end of the opera diva’s career as she attempts to teach, reflects on the good and bad of her life, and looks at the things one must sacrifice for one’s art: love, comfort, and the freedom to inhale helium right before singing an aria. Throughout, stark humor and powerful moments weave through music by the likes of Puccini and Verdi. The resulting tapestry, according to the Hollywood Reporter, “will be talked about for years to come whenever people point to theater experiences that genuinely deserve to be labeled by the overused word ‘great.’” Master Class is the first production for the Mariposa Theatre Wing, a new branch of Opera Mariposa that will present plays and musicals with operatic elements.
