WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Barbara Walsh stars as "Maria Callas" in Paper Mill's production of Master Class, Terrence McNally's Tony-Award winning play. Wendy Goldberg directs.
Master Class is the story of renowned opera diva Maria Callas, while teaching a master class in front of an audience: us! She's glamorous, larger than life, and drop-dead funny! What begins as a class becomes an intimate and revealing look into her life: we learn about Callas' tumultuous affair with Aristotle Onassis; her early days as an ugly duckling, the fierce hatred of her rivals, and the unforgiving press that savaged her at first. Master Class is a tour-de-force lesson underscored by simple truths about life and art.

The two-act play, loosely based on a series of 12 master classes that Callas gave at the Juilliard School in 1971 that McNally observed, is essentially a one-woman monologue with short cameos from a trio of would-be opera singers, and incidental music by Bellini, Puccini, and Verdi that is performed by pianist [...]
