CALLAS. MASTER CLASS | teaser

The leading theme of the art are the music lessons that the Diva gave at the end of her career (1971-1972) at the famous Juilliard School in New York. Students-singers appear on the stage. They will have to confront their talent with an assessment of a capricious prima donna. With time, Callas' love for music comes to the fore, memories of her rich career intertwined with private threads. We are witnessing the artist's life choices, her total dedication to art and the consequences of difficult decisions.

 

. Callas Master Class is a unique theater and music performance. Intimate, oneiric, touching and tells a touching story of an operatic goddess whose personal life was far from ideal. This non-obvious spectacle fits perfectly into the difficult, pandemic artistic season. It reminds us of a great figure in the operatic world, but in an unusual way.
Magdalena Mikrut-Majeranek, The Theater Journal

"Kściczyk-Jędrusik has the divine spark that Callas herself reminds her students of during her master classes: she knows how to take over the stage. (...) Original types, for any other director could function as grotesque creations, for Talarczyk they are shown in a way that makes them characters, colorful and characteristic. One that can be liked. The director simply has a knack for leading actors. " Alexandra Kozowicz, Gazeta Wyborcza

“The creation of Joanna Kściczyk-Jędrusik is an acting tour de force of a singer who looks like Callas (great applause for Gosia Baczyńska for costumes), she simply is Callas. But she is the one Callas in her own edition, more subdued, suspending her voice, different, and that's her strength and merit. There is also Kościeczyk-Jędrusik a reliable teacher for his students, of whom Gabriela Gołaszewska (Sophie De Palma) came out the best in terms of acting and rough, though in fact likable partner for his amusing accompanist Manny, played by Piotr Kopiński. "
Mateusz Borkowski, Ruch Muzyczny

“Anyone who would like to see the opera singing masterclass conducted by Maria Callas, a world-famous drama soprano owner, should go to the Callas performance. Master Class . Freshly after the premiere, we say: it's worth it. " Olga Bury, Dziennik Teatralny
