Set inside a music classroom, the play treats the theater audience as Callas’s students, capturing the aging diva in the twilight of her career—her voice largely deteriorated, yet her artistic standards, ferocious ego, and theatrical instincts burning as fiercely as ever. Callas interrogates and coaches three young aspiring opera singers. However, as each student sings, the classroom dissolves into Callas’s rich interior landscape through dramatic theatrical monologues, transporting her back into turbulent memories of her artistic triumphs at La Scala, the bitter rivalries that defined her career, and her devastating, humiliating romance with shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. McNally crafts an indelible meditation on the solitary sacrifices demanded by genius, the ephemeral nature of glory, and the inescapable price an artist pays when they give their entire soul over to their craft.  Susan Kulp becomes Maria Callas in this tour de force of drama, music and fame, as MLS Artistic Director Marc Deaton shapes this masterpiece of modern theatre.
