REVIEWS

Cleveland Opera Le Nozze di Figaro 10/01 "Jeff Mattsey's rich baritone voice has all the colors and range needed to make an ideal Figaro. His interplay with Pamela Hinchman's Susanna was natural and loving."                           Alan Montgomery - Opera News

Indianapolis Opera Eugene Onegin  11/01 " As Onegin, Jeff Mattsey was elegantly Byronic, eschewing some of the usual stiff formality in an attempt to create a more sympathetic character.  Mattsey sang warmly."                           Charles H Parsons - Opera News

Hawaii Opera Theater The Barber of Seville  02/00 "But Jeff Mattsey, as the irrepressible Figaro, Shone brightest. Light of foot and manner, handsome, charming -- with his robust baritone, he was impossible not to love."                          Ruth O. Bingham - Star Bulletin

Boston Lyric Opera Don Giovanni    11/00 "Baritone Jeff Mattsey was a Bill Clintonesque Don: a fleshily attractive lover of women and food who's likeable in spite of himself."                              T.J. Medrek - Boston Herald

Pittsburgh Opera Elixer of Love  10/98 "Jeffrey Mattsey provides vocal and visual swagger. Mattsey is the perfect foil: big and blustering, with a funny walk and a macho edge to his resonant baritone timbre. The Nemorino-Belcore duet in Act 2 is the evening's best moment."                                       Robert Croan - Post-Gazette
