00:00I'd like to walk with you through your life.
00:11Should I call you Maria, or Lachalas?
00:22Tell me how it felt to be on stage.
00:24An exultation, an intoxication.
00:31I thought the stage itself would burn.
00:35Sometimes this thing happens, the thing that's happening right now.
00:40There's a point where self-confidence becomes a kind of insanity.
00:44How is that for a position for the piano, madam?
00:49It's not right, but I'm nice, so leave it.
00:54Perhaps we could speak of your life away from the stage.
00:57There is no life away from the stage.
01:12I really want to know what the hell happened to you.
01:16You've never been free.
01:18Forget the music.
01:21Your voice will not return.
01:24I am in control.
01:26I will sing when I am ready to sing.
01:31Oh, God.
01:40Let's go home.
01:51Oh, God.
02:01My life is opera.
02:04There is no reason in opera.
