"All through his life, Vickers would invoke the name of Callas as one of the few...who had changed the face of opera in their time....Callas had taken works of art that many sopranos had used simply as demonstrations of vocal technique (always scorned by Vickers) and 'translated them into real, living characters [with] great messages.'" (Jeannie Williams, "Jon Vickers: A Hero's Life," p. 92-93)
