This play, described by the Los Angeles Times as a "McNally's love letter to Callas" provided the subject matter, drama and music indicative of grand opera in a theatrical play. A troupe of professional actors and singing actors portrayed the lead roles. The production was met with critical acclaim by all local press reporting on it at the time.
