Stephen Wadsworth’s new production of Terrence McNally’s Master Class transfers to London's West End for a strictly limited season following its critically acclaimed, sell-out run on Broadway. Emmy Award winner Tyne Daly will reprise her role as the legendary opera soprano Maria Callas.
Master Class is an extraordinary insight into the troubled life and loves of Maria Callas, the iconic and infamous opera singer whose turbulent private life and fiery temperament were as astonishing as her formidable talents.
The play transports the audience to one of Callas's famous master classes of the early 70s where, late in her own career, she dares the next generation to make the same sacrifices and rise to the same heights that made her the most celebrated, most reviled and the most controversial singer of her time. This is a riveting, hilarious and intensely moving portrayal of the sacrifice and heartache behind the artist, the diva and the legend.
