BARITONE
MORGAN SMITH
Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer’s Moby-Dick “achieved dramatic concentration by pairing Ahab — sung to perfection by veteran Ben Heppner - with first mate Starbuck — stunningly portrayed by Morgan Smith, a baritone at home in top German opera houses.” His Starbuck was “superb,” “intelligent,” and “handsomely portrayed,” a rendition “sung and acted with hypnotic power,” “sonorous gravity,” and “mellifluous lyricism”-a “standout performance.”
