Co-presented with Theatre Aspen on July 9th & July 10th.
The Aspen Music Festival and School and Theatre Aspen once again collaborate to co-present Terrence McNally’s Master Class. This 1995 Broadway play about a master class led by opera singer Maria Callas was a star-making turn for Audra McDonald who earned one of her record-breaking six Tony Awards for her performance. In this production, a theater star (to be announced) will anchor a production featuring the AMFS’s rising-star opera fellows in the dramatic and musical roles of the students. Regarded as “rich, vivid,” and “satisfying” by The New York Times, and a “total triumph” by the Star-Ledger, this classic production comes to life in Aspen’s historic Wheeler Opera House.
The premier training ground for hundreds of the worlds' most talented young musicians, the Aspen Music Festival and School presents hundreds of events during the Festival, which runs June 29 to August 20.
