Coming to America in his late teens from a small town in Greece, Marko Lampas set out to achieve his life-long ambition of becoming an opera singer. Blessed with a beautiful tenor voice and a fierce determination, it took Lampas many years of hard work to gain the critical acceptance of his peers and teachers. While pursuing his operatic studies he also worked part time as a limousine driver to support his young family. Lampas frequently found himself chauffeuring such celebrities as Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis. In fact, in 1969 Lampas appeared on the cover of Life Magazine with Jackie O leading her to his limousine. When Onassis resumed his special relationship with famed opera singer Maria Callas the Gods smiled upon Marko. In the months that followed he became her driver and she his confidant. Callas befriended Lampas and took him under her wing enlightening him about life as well as music. When the Juilliard Master Classes ended she invited Marko to Europe to continue his career under her guidance, but he could not leave his young son and daughter behind. She used to call him “the sentimental Greek”. While Lampas received several scholarships from The Metropolitan Opera, The Curtis Institute of Music and The Juilliard School, he was still unable to earn enough to support his young family. For a period of time he had to abandon his dreams of an operatic career. A few years later Lampas met and married Barbara Iona Miller, an accomplished soprano. With her help and encouragement he found himself once again on the operatic stage singing leading tenor roles in Europe and South America as well as in the United States. Finally realizing his lifelong ambition, Marko Lampas now teaches and guides young singers to realize their own artistic potential. Mános’ Encounter With The GodsA trilogy; over 1000 pages
A simple, kind man, Mános Theodórou is miraculously bestowed with supernatural powers by the gods of the cosmos, first to cure a deadly virus that is decimating humanity, and second to fight those who have been consumed by evil, greed and prejudice. His battles are quietly and unanimously victorious. He offers two choices to each of the antagonists he encounters in his sacred campaign against evil. The first choice is redemption from the three sins of evil, greed and prejudice, with subsequent enlightenment in eternal life after they return the fortunes they have stolen from ordinary people. The second choice is death. Corporate moguls, dictators, outlaws, presidents, politicians, monarchs, and others in positions of power and consumed by egoism, laugh at his request and then pay the deadly price. The wise ones accept virtue and the path to eternal life. But the god Greed is powerful and many of Mános' disciples escape his wrath by waiting patiently until he is taken by the gods before resuming their lives of wickedness. But Mános does not abandon earth; he leaves behind Amourán, his beautiful young daughter, to carry on the quest. She possesses greater power and is less forgiving than her father. She continues championing righteousness in the boardrooms of the corrupt, in the fortified camps of terrorists and mercenaries, and in the military and political chambers of the power hungry. She fights for those who cannot fight for themselves. She is the revered goddess Márouna. The Earth will never be the same. Falsely Accused
