Anita Cerquetti was a great talent and had a great voice. She filled in for Callas the night following the famous "walk out" and the rest of the performances. She retired at 30! I'm not sure why. Perhaps a knowledgeable person reading this will explain.

nobody really knows why. some say it was declining mental health due to excessive stress, other say she was just too fat to go on (?)
