Jonathan Stuckey, Bass

Jonathan Stuckey has been praised for his “smooth, deep voice” (Thomas Dyer, Berkshire Fine Arts) as well as his “restrained eloquence and refined bass color” (Robert Rollin, Cleveland Classical). Jonathan “has one of the deepest, richest and most resonant bass voices one could hope to hear. He projects sincerity into his acting as well, making for an excellent combination of talents (George Parous, onStage Pittsburgh").” His recent engagements include Banco in Verdi’s Macbeth with Opera Western Reserve, Porgy in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess with The Cleveland Opera, Pitkin in Bernstein’s On the Town with Resonance Works Pittsburgh, and Sarastro in Mozart’s The Magic Flute with Resonanz Opera.

Jonathan holds a Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance from The Peabody Conservatory of Music, where he studied with John Shirley-Quirk.
