Galina Vishnevskaya. (№ 457459)

Left to myself in this cycle of human passions, seeing side by side depravity and sublime love, friendship and betrayal, I realized that I could either sink to the very bottom or emerge from this mess unattainable and strong. And I felt, I knew that only art could help me. Therefore, I strove to sing, go on stage - to escape from real life at least for a few minutes, to feel the power to lead people into my special, my beautiful world.
