When playwright Charles Ludlam invented the iconic opera singer at the center of his ridiculous comedy Galas, he likely never imagined a real prima donna in the role. With Anthony Roth Costanzo taking the stage in Eric Ting's new production, the dream Ludlam never dreamed comes true. As the titular Maria Magdalena Galas (rhymes with Callas), Costanzo embodies extravagance, camp and diva, but—with his famous countertenor shimmering between the moments of absurdity—opens his heart and lays bare to us both the beauty and the pain pumping through the veins of any great artist.
