Vickers was never against playing an "anti-hero", moral or otherwise. Look at Nero, Pollione, Tristan, Otello, Don Carlo etc etc. He was against playing someone who was celebrated because of his moral failings. It was the message of the opera not his individual role that he emphasized. No contradiction there.He also always said that if he didn't sing the hardest roles, ie Enee and Tristan, then he couldn't walk away from other roles with his head up.
