“At last I see my own conception of the role! At last I have found my devil!”
Arrigo Boito about Feodor Chaliapin’s Mefistofele As Don Quichotte “If I amounted to anything in life, it was as an actor and a singer. I was totally
committed to my vocation. I had no other ruling passion whatever, no particular taste for anything other than the stage.” Feodor Chaliapin

As Holofernes in Serov’s “Judith” “It is impossible to separate Chaliapin the singer from Chaliapin the actor. Each
works for the other, where the singer ends, the actor begins and vice-versa. They are both on stage at the same time.”
Wiener Zeitung 1927 As Boris Godunov “I know if he walked into a room all talk stopped - even if not everyone knew
him. Often in Paris going for a walk with him people turned and stared after us... My father was totally devoted to the theatre.”
Marfa Hudson Davies, née Chaliapin smoking... Once at eve
(Pimen’s narration in Boris Godunov / Mussorgsky / Gramophone 1911)
