Riassunto:

Maria Callas returned to the stage in 1971 to teach master classes at Juilliard. This intriguing forum later inspired Terrence McNally's acclaimed play Master Class. Outspoken and uncompromising in her artistic beliefs, Callas worked through her legendary arias from Mozart, Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, and others. John Ardoin brilliantly captures the insights of a thoughtful singer who reveals herself to be not the imperious diva of her reputation, but a supremely self-aware artist concerned with passing along a great musical tradition.

John Ardoin (1935-2001) was the music critic for The Dallas Morning News for more than 30 years. He died unexpectedly, just after completing his work on this book. He was renowned for his encyclopedic knowledge of opera and singers, particularly Maria Callas, and was the author of Callas at Juilliard: The Master Classes, also published by Amadeus Press. He served, as well, as editor of Musical America Magazine, critic for The Saturday Review, New York music correspondent for The Times of London, and New York critic for Opera magazine.
