The Merry Widow, Opera New Jersey

“…Brian Jagde, singing the lead role of Danilo, performed with John Cleese-like animation and vocal style which belied his ‘Festival Artist’ status.”

Princeton’s “Town Topics”  – Nancy Plum – July 2008

“Jennifer Aylmer and Brian Jagde make an attractive couple… both sing well and suggest the glamour of their characters.  Jagde makes a handsome Danilo.”

Courier Post – Robert Baxter – July 2008

“Jagde’s meaty baritone perfectly suited his dark and cynical character.”

Broad Street Review – Jim Rutter – July 2008
