As Enrico in Connecticut Grand Opera’s Lucia di Lammermoor:

“Stuckey brought an unusual sensitivity to Enrico, showing his pensiveness and inward despair as well as his more outward desperation and manipulation. His was a voice that projected the whisper as well as the outburst, without losing a rich tone. One hears a Rigoletto or a Macbeth in his voice.”

Jerome R. Sehulster, Stamford Advocate, May 13, 2007

As Enrico in Syracuse Opera’s Lucia di Lammermoor

“Baritone William Andrew Stuckey, in the role of Enrico, has a leonine voice of dark, smoky sonority and a stage presence to go with it.”

Chuck Klaus, Syracuse Post-Standard, March 3, 2007

With Palm Beach Opera

Peter, the father, was winningly played and sung by baritone William Andrew Stuckey. His warm baritone showed a good spectrum of tonal coloration and a grasp of dynamic variety. Stuckey's portrayal also featured a wide emotional scope, from a sardonic drunken hilarity to a touching paternal concern.

With Sarasota Opera as the Comte di Luna

"Stuckey sings a tender romanza witha buttery voice that could almost win the hearts of the audience if he weren't cast as the villian."
Gayle Williams/Longboat Observer 2/7/02

"William Andrew Stuckey's baritone deserves praise not only for its full-throated, rich tone but for the grace with which he reaches his audience in his role as Count di Luna."
Norman & Bette Seigerman 2/7/02

"...the rich beauty of William Andrew Stuckey's baritone...fulfilled all the demands of the gorgeous arias"
"Stuckey's beautiful baritone shone in 'Il balen del suo sorriso'"
Florence Fisher/Sarasota Herald-Tribune 2/7/02

With Roanoke Opera:

"Especially fine was William Andrew Stuckey as the American consul Sharpless.

Stuckey is an actor with an idiomatic style and an easy stage presence. His big baritone is the kind of instrument that will qualify him for the major Verdi roles."
Seth Williams/Roanoke Times 10/20/02

 

As winner of Palm Beach Opera Competition

Baritone William Andrew Stuckey, the first-place winner, demonstrated firmness of technique and roundness of tone in a nobly phrased aria from Massenet's Hérodiade.

By Tim Smith

Music Writer

Advanced category winner William Andrew Stuckey artfully displayed his huge baritone voice in Vision Fugitive from Massenet's Hérodiade. Stuckey has a pleasingly narrow vibrato, a compelling urgency in his dramatics, and he offered the best diction of any of his fellow competitors. One would be hard put to find any fault in his singing.
