"Morgan Pearse is that suitor, Alceste, combining vocal strength and earnestness in his advances to Tisbe, with a comic vigour "

"Belcore was played by Morgan Pearse, his light baritone expertly handling the frequent coloratura flourishes that many Belcores simply fudge"

"Belcore played by the wondrous Australian baritone Morgan Pearse is resplendent in his role, bringing with him just the right amount of amusing ‘cocksuredness’ to elevate his character"

"Pearse as the cartoon sergeant with a disciplined, ringing voice that has the warmly welcoming, oaty texture of an Anzac biscuit, complete with Golden Syrup"

"Pearse has an exceptionally wide vocal range, sounding comfortable at the top of the stave and yet possessing sonorous low notes; he is personable, self-confident, handsome and impeccably dressed...an impressive solo debut in this most demanding and auspicious of venues"

"he main event here was the world premiere of The Drowners, a song cycle by Andrew Ford setting texts about tragedy at sea: “Full Fathom Five,” “Not Waving but Drowning” and others. The cycle was written for Australian baritone Morgan Pearse and makes full use of his extraordinary vocal range"

"And in Morgan Pearse we get a commanding and mercurial Figaro whose delicate guitar accompaniment to the lovelorn hero’s serenade suggests he could make that his day-job if he chose."

"Most extraordinary of all is Morgan Pearse, back to the Coliseum as a Figaro transformed...I don't know what they've been feeding him in the interim, but this time he's a star. Figaro here, Figaro there - you can't take your eyes off the fellow, and his account of the introductory "Largo al factotum" brimmed with wit and expert delivery."

"t’s difficult to know where to begin with an opera that was so strongly cast. Morgan Pearse is no stranger to the role of Figaro and gave a performance of total confidence. Striding onto the stage, his delivery of “Largo al factotum” displayed a burly, muscular baritone that was more than comfortable with the patter of the aria...his sharp delivery and arch looks gave it bite"

"Morgan Pearse was a wonderful Figaro, with a full, rich voice that moved with ease and a natural confidence on stage"

"Aus dem Sängerensemble ragte der australische Bariton Morgan Pearse, der Sieger des Cesti-Gesangswettbewerbs 2016, heraus. Mit seiner kraftvollen, gut geführten Stimme war er auch schauspielerisch ein brillanter Darsteller des Nero."[From the singers ensemble, the Australian baritone Morgan Pearse, winner of the 2016 Cesti Singing Competition, stood out. With his powerful, well-controlled voice, he was also a brilliant acting actor of Nero]

"Morgan Pearse begeistert in der Partie des Kaisers Nero mit kräftigem Bariton der die Autorität des Tyrannen unterstreicht"[Morgan Pearse thrilled in the role of the Emperor Nero with a strong baritone who emphasizes the authority of the tyrant]

"Le baryton australien, lauréat du concours Cesti, Morgan Pearse , allie une amplitude vocale à une diction et un sens du théâtre exemplaires qui rendent extrêmement vivant un livret qui fourmille de tournures savoureuses."[The Australian baritone, winner of the Cesti competition, Morgan Pearse , combines a vocal range with a diction and a sense of exemplary theater that makes a booklet that is full of delicious flavors extremely lively]

"Morgan Pearse, whose urbane light baritone was a nice match for the easy confidence with which he carried himself on stage"

"Morgan Pearse...revealed his superb operatic baritone, which was possessed of seemingly infinite warmth, firmness and strength. It is hard to picture performances of ‘This Nearly Was Mine’, ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ and ‘Come Home’ (from Allegro) ever feeling more engaging than they did when delivered by him in this venue."

"Dans le rôle de Valens, on ne saurait en revanche accuser Morgan Pearse de ne pas s’imposer à tous égards, même s’il n’intervient que trop peu souvent. Tout de fureur incarnée, on craint qu’il ne fonce droit dans l’orchestre ou qu’il enfonce dans le sol le pupitre auquel il est fermement arrimé. Le baryton australien dégage une autorité naturelle que la puissante de son émission ne fait que renforcer. On en reste littéralement sonné."

Morgan Pearse and Nicholas Phan offered standout performances of Anthony Hope and Tobias Ragg. Pearse plays perfectly the part of the tender youth struck by love at the first sight of Todd’s daughter Johanna. His rendition of Johanna…..is at once tender and potent.

"Only Mr. Pearse, as love-smacked Anthony, has the requisite fire of youth and stirring voice to give his ballads spontaneity and lyricism"

"The standout performer was young Australian baritone Morgan Pearse, singing the role of Anthony, the sailor in love with Johanna. An HGO Studio artist, Pearse has already appeared twice with the company this season, as Papageno in The Magic Flute and Prince Yamadori in Madame Butterfly. Pearse has a knack for dramatic acting and a solid yet buttery voice that lent emotional substance to his somewhat one-dimensional character"
