Bravo, Bravo, BRAVO!!!! Jay will be a joy for the Met audience to experience! He embodies all that the young, unsuspecting, emotional Siegfried should be.

Congratulations to Jay! I was really impressed with his work in the SF Siegfried. He sang well and was at one with the Zambello’s concept, too.

I was bowled over by Jay Hunter Morris’s Siegfried last night on the SiriusXM broadcast of the premier of the Met’s new Siegfried. His is a remarkablly young-sounding, consistent throughout the vocal range and even. I just hope that he will husband his resources and not wear out his impressive voice by singing too many Siegfrieds in his young carreer

Never heard such an un-German Siefried. No time for pronunciation classes? Debby V. same problem. Sloppy!
