  • Riders of the Purple Sage, Arizona Opera February & March 2017 As
    Riders of the Purple Sage, Arizona Opera February & March 2017 As her helper, the gunslinger Lassiter, Morgan Smith gave us a stunning performance of a role in which the character’s personality gradually unfolds and grows in complexity. Maria Nockin, Opera Today, 7 March 2017 On opening night in Tucson, the lead roles of Jane and Lassiter were sung by soprano Karin Wolverton and baritone Morgan Smith, who both deliver memorable arias. Smith plays Lassiter with vintage Clint Eastwood menace as he growls out his provocative maxim, “A man without a gun is only half a man.” Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic, 27 February 2017 Moby-Dick, Dallas Opera November 2016 Morgan Smith brings a dense, dark baritone to the role of Starbuck, the ship's voice of reason Scott Cantrell, Dallas News, 5 November 2016 Morgan Smith, who played Starbuck, gave a stunningly powerful performance in this scene, making the internal conflict in the character believable and real. Keith Cerny, Theater Jones, 6 December 2016 First Mate Starbuck is again sung by baritone Morgan Smith, who offers convincing muscularity and authority. J. Robin Coffelt, Texas Classical Review, 6 November 2016 Morgan Smith finely acted in the role of second in command, Starbuck, and his singing was even finer. When Starbuck attempts to dissuade Captain Ahab from his fool’s mission to wreck vengeance on the white whale, the audience was treated to the evening's most powerful and passionate singing — his duets with tenor Jay Hunter Morris as Ahab in particular. Monica Smart, Dallas Observer, 8 November 2016 Madama Butterfly, Kentucky Opera September 2016 With a diplomatic air and a rich, velvety baritone, he upheld the title of Consul and caretaker in a fatherly way.

Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.
