Master Class Oct. 28-Nov. 13, 2005 By Terrence McNally
Maria Callas at the end of her life is teaching a master class in front of an audience (us). She's glamorous, commanding, larger than life -- and drop-dead funny. As "victims" enter the stage to sing for Callas, Callas glories in her own career, dabbles in opera dish and flat-out seduces the audience. She enters her memories, and we learn about Callas' affair with Aristotle Onassis; her first elderly husband whom she left; her early days as an ugly duckling; the fierce hatred of her rivals; and the unforgiving press that savaged her at first. Master Class celebrates the sacrifices made in the name of art.
