THEATRE ROYAL BATH PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS
MASTER CLASS
Starring STEPHANIE BEACHAM
Directed by JONATHAN CHURCH
Maria Callas remains one of the towering figures of the opera world, larger- than-life and gorgeously glamorous. She is as famous for her turbulent private life, her passionate love affair with the tycoon Aristotle Onassisis, her rivalry with other opera singers and her untimely death in 1977, as for her extraordinary musical and dramatic talents.
Inspired by the master classes Callas gave in New York in the early seventies, this award-winning play invites you to observe the great diva in action as she puts three aspiring singers through their paces. Witty, bitchy, grandiose, demanding and insecure, she reminisces on the triumphs and tragedies of her life and career now that both her voice and her personal life have fallen apart. Written by award-winning playwright Terence McNally and starring Stephanie Beacham Master Class is a fascinating insight into the life of a true musical icon.
