Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage, Fairfield County's professional award-winning theatre company, proudly opens its 38th MainStage Season with Terrence McNally's Master Class. This compelling drama, winner of the 1996 Tony Award for Best Play, offers a riveting portrayal of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas as she navigates a master class filled with sharp wit, deep emotion, and unflinching honesty. The production runs from September 13th through the 29th, with performances on Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, Sundays at 2pm, and, new to MTC, two Thursday performances on September 19th and 26th at 7pm.

Master Class delves into the life of Maria Callas, an opera superstar whose larger-than-life persona and immense talent left an indelible mark on the world of music. As Callas conducts a vocal master class, she shares with her students not just her technical expertise but also the personal memories that shaped her career. The audience is drawn into a captivating exploration of Callas's tumultuous journey, from her meteoric rise to the challenges of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of artistic perfection.
