MARIA CALLAS IN A SPEECH TO THE STUDENTS OF JUILLIARD SCHOOL, MARCH 16, 1972:

“I am not good with words, but there is one thing I would ask of you: that our e! orts not be wasted, that you do not forget what little I have given you. Take it and apply it to other scores, so that your phrasing, your diction, your knowledge, and your courage will be stronger—especially your courage. Do not think singing is an easy career. It is a lifetime’s work; it does not stop here. As future colleagues, you must carry on. Fight bad tradition; remember, we are servants to those better than us— the composers. " ey believe; we must believe.

Of course, by helping the composer we help ourselves. But this takes courage—the courage to say no to easy applause, to # reworks for their own sake. You must know what you want to do in life, you must decide, for we cannot do everything. Everyone seems in a hurry today—too much so, I think. Conductors frequently do not have the time to know what these scores are about. You must show them in a nice way what is necessary for the composer and why. " is is what I have always tried to do, and what I have wanted to instill in you who will follow.

Whether I continue singing or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you use whatever you have learned wisely. " ink of the expression of the words, of good diction, and of your own deep feelings. " e only thanks I ask is that you sing properly and honestly. If you do this, I will feel repaid.”
