I WANTED TO DIE…

Excalibur

When I lost my voice I wanted to die, I was thirty seven…I would not sing Violetta again,I suffered so much for her,I lost weight to be her ,I fought with opera managers,directors,conductors to be her,to be a courtisane, la belle du bal,to wear those gorgeous fin de siecle gowns,… I shall never be, act,play,sing Violetta the way I wanted,the way Verdi wrote it.Every soprano dreams of her…giving up a role is like loosing a child,a part of yourself dies.Violetta was my first love…

    Sorry I havn’t been commenting on you things for the last couple of months! I can’t imagine how terrible it must have been for her to lose her voice! especially since it seems like she was under the impression her voice was her only “worth quality”. I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it now this seems like it has been written by La Callas herself. Great Job!
