{"product_id":"callas-at-juilliard-the-master-classes-9781574670424","title":"Callas at Juilliard: The Master Classes","description":"Maria Callas returned to the stage in 1971 to teach master classes at Juilliard. This intriguing forum later inspired Terrence McNally's acclaimed play \u003ci\u003eMaster Class\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Ardoin (1935-2001) was the music critic for \u003ci\u003eThe Dallas Morning News\u003c\/i\u003e for more than 30 years.
