Cast:
3 men

Maria Callas: A formidable woman in her 50s-small singing part. Glamorous, commanding, larger-than-life, caustic, and surprisingly drop-dead funny pedagogue.

Emmanuel Weinstock (Manny): Male piano accompanist with a clear practicing knowledge of operatic music:  Age is not set. Must be on stage the whole time and also has a small speaking role.

Sharon Graham: Second Soprano-A female student in her twenties/early thirties. Singing and acting role.

Sophie DePalma: First Soprano-A female student in her twenties/early thirties. Singing and acting role.

Anthony Candolino: Tenor male student in his twenties/early thirties. Singing and acting role.

Stagehand: Male or female. Age is not set. A few on/off appearances.

About the Show
Terrence McNally's Tony Award-winning play is based on the legendary series of master classes given by opera diva Maria Callas at Juilliard. In the play, Callas berates her students as much as she encourages them and confronts the disappointments in her own life and her relationship with the shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis
