Bass-Baritone Peter Morgan brought us back down to earth with his moving portrayal of the Colonel, struggling to cope with the death of his wife. (The Colonel in The Falling and the Rising with Opera Carolina)
Bass-Baritone Peter Morgan (Moralès) has a steely voice, easily cutting through the chorus and orchestra.

Peter Morgan was excellent as Ferrando, delivering a “Di due figli vivea padre beato” with an exciting bass-baritone and a firm sense of character.
The Ferrando of Peter Morgan, who initially explains the unfortunate mixup, was the solid, warm bass voice that, in true Verdi fashion, seems to underpin all with compassionate, wonderful singing.

A truly shining and powerful bass-baritone.
“Bass-baritone Peter Morgan’s Colline was a man whose affection for his fellow bohemians was palpable, and his good-natured philosophizing was determined but never dull. Morgan was a rare and refreshing Colline who sang his much-maligned ‘farewell to a coat’ in Act Four, ‘Vecchia zimarra,’ beautifully and unaffectedly.
“Peter Morgan lends nothing less than a royal voice. Which yields to no one as to the seriousness, the breath, the nobility of the line. His presence is royal, like his voice sitting, like a throne.”
Standouts of the cast were Peter Morgan (Max Detweiler), and Alyson Cambridge (Elsa Schrader), who shone throughout the performance, lightheartedly leaning into the comedic elements of their duo. Though Max and Elsa were designed as a contrast to the morality that Maria and Captain von Trapp demonstrate, they were ultimately a source of endearment rather than antagonistic.

Peter Morgan as King Balthazar was deliciously resonant.
A phenomenal voice! (King Balthazar)

Peter Morgan thrived as Ferrando, the chilling military commander. His aria retelling the hunting down of the gypsy was expertly snake-like.
A notable scene stealer, Peter Morgan was exceptionally winning as Don Pedro, whom he played with considerable charm.
Peter Morgan gave a delightfully fun performance as Don Pedro.

Peter Morgan commanded the stage as William Jennings Bryan with a powerful and resonant basso. (The Ballad of Baby Doe with Toledo Opera)
Swagger onstage and a rich, powerful voice.
A smooth, resonant, and luscious voice.
Particular praise is given to Mr. Morgan for his brilliantly touching aria to the coat he selflessly sells for Mimi’s sake.
“Mr. Morgan as Colline masterfully sang a tender valedictory to his coat with near-Russian solemnity”
“Peter Morgan made a strong impression as King Louis XVI, both vocally and dramatically”(The Ghosts of Versailles with The Glimmerglass Festival)
