==In popular culture==
* [[Terrence McNally]]'s play ''[[Master Class]]'', which premiered in 1995, presents Callas as a glamorous, commanding, larger-than-life, caustic, and funny pedagogue holding a voice master class. Alternately dismayed and impressed by the students who parade before her, she retreats into recollections about the glories of her own life and career, culminating in a monologue about sacrifice taken for art. Several selections of Callas actually singing are played during the recollections.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Zinman |first1=Toby Silverman |title=Terrence McNally: A Casebook |date=2014 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-135-59598-2 |pages=165 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ovVRAwAAQBAJ&q=%22Terrence+McNally%22+%22Master+Class%22+callas&pg=PA165 |access-date=June 8, 2019 |language=en}}</ref> Callas was portrayed on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] by [[Zoe Caldwell]] (1995),<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gerard |first=Jeremy |date=1995-11-06 |title=Master Class |url=https://variety.com/1995/legit/reviews/master-class-6-1200443943/ |access-date=2023-02-05 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Patti LuPone]] (1996),<ref>{{Cite news |last=Canby |first=Vincent |date=1996-07-26 |title=Theater Review; Patti LuPone's Arrival Changes the Effect Of McNally's Script |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/26/theater/theater-review-patti-lupone-s-arrival-changes-the-effect-of-mcnally-s-script.html |access-date=2023-02-05 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> [[Dixie Carter]] (1997),<ref>{{Cite news |last=Marks |first=Peter |date=1997-03-01 |title=A New Callas More Wounded Than Wounding |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/01/theater/a-new-callas-more-wounded-than-wounding.html |access-date=2023-02-05 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> and [[Tyne Daly]] (2011).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Brantley |first=Ben |date=2011-07-08 |title=Enough About You; Let's Revisit My Glory Days |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/08/theater/reviews/master-class-with-tyne-daly-at-the-friedman-review.html |access-date=2023-02-05 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Caldwell won a [[Tony Awards|Tony Award]] for her performance.
