I love this Master Class. I look each week for any new entry to youtube each week. I am sad the run is only to Sept 4th. Looking for the new work Tyne is going to be doing later this year or so I heard. Tyne is amazing in this you forget Tyne and get sucked into Maria's life and world... I hope they put this on Great Preformaces on PBS... so all can love this too
I loved loved LOVED this! I saw it for my sweet 16. :) What an amazing cast! I met them all, and they're just completely amazing. They took their own time to talk to everyone, and sign the playbills.
In the original 1996 production, not only did Audra McDonald win a Tony for Best Featured Actress, but Zoe Caldwell won Best Actress for her riveting portrayal of Callas. Alas, that was before UA-cam.
@jasonabroussard The play is set up as though the students were doing a master class with Maria Callas (the role that Tyne is playing). But from the first to the last it is played as though you were watching an actual master class with Callas. At the beginning she comes out an addresses the audience, and there is even a "stagehand" who is part of the play. It's a wonderful piece.
@hollabelle I wouldn't be so quick to judge. The show is called master class, as in "a class". They aren't supposed to be perfect, and her voice is not "fine". Her voice is beautiful, especially live, I saw this two nights ago in New York. No she is not and opera singer professionally. She's not supposed to be a "perfect" opera singer, that's the point. I'd check her out in some other things, and you'd change your mind about her voice being "fine".
@aledu89 I met her last night after the show! She was sooooooo nice to me at the Stage Door. She even signed my LITTLE MERMAID playbill and CD. Tyne was the same and took her time to sign every Playbill. The show itself was breathtaking!!
@DragWithNoPenis you should investigate before saying something… Sierra has always said she's not trained as an opera singer… and we all know that. and for the record "Master Class" IS Broadway! duh!!!
@aledu89 ME TOOOOO! I had the enormous pleasure of meeting her backstage after Master Class and it was quite possibly the greatest experience i've ever had meeting a famous person! What woman how humble how nice!
Well... call me dumb. But I could not tell if this was scripted or not. I mean, surely a master class isn't "scripted", the reactions and dialogue just seemed like something I would read. haha.
they should have worked with that girl much more on Italian diction. the voice is fine, not an opera singer, but it's fine. i think it's just the lack of diction that make her sound unprofessional.

MASTER CLASS just received a 2012 TONY AWARD nomination for BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY!
@aledu89 I know, me too. She's become one of my favorite theatre actresses after seeing her in 25th Anniversary production of 'Phantom of the Opera'.

@jasonabroussard it's a play called "Master Class;" it is scripted. Audra McDonald won a Tony for her portrayal as Sharon in the original production!
I mean Siera is obviously no opera singer, but I didn't know she could sing like that!!! She better work!!!
@soupboy15 Thanks!

@DragWithNoPenis This IS broadway.
Only Tyne Daly could turn Maria Callas into Rodney Dangerfield!
not bad Sierra but she needs to work a lot the italian =S she has a beautiful voice but for opera......=S
