THE DICTATE OF MY HEART
10 September 1959
I lost my voice the day I left Titta,as a soprano I need daily practice,care and stability that Titta provided.Had I not given up everything for Ari I would be singing today Juliette,Ophelie,Dalila and Carmen,the mezzo parts of French opera,French like Italian was created for singing.
La Maxwell showed me her realm,offered me to be her lady-in-waiting,I wanted to be queen of Ari's jet set,and be his woman.
After the Gala of the century,Eurovision's extravaganza,the French offered me their kingdom,L'Opera de Paris,to sing anything,everything I wished,at the same time Ari offered me to be his woman.I couldn't have both,being his mistress was a full time occupation,to be at his beck and call. .
I was in love with the man and his kingdom,a pharmacist's daughter in the world of the Rich and Famous.During the cruise I made my mind to follow my heart,to give up everything for him,I was blind,a fool,the only way to keep him was to keep my identity,to remain in the limelight,he wanted La Callas,not the woman.He destroyed my life,my voice,my destiny.
