The Well-Rounded Wotan : James Morris on Wagner, Variety, and the Beauty of Changing Your Mind
After 22 years in the role of Wagner’s Wotan at the Met, bass-baritone James Morris recently hung up his eye patch for good—at the Met, anyway.

And while many of his decisions have been carefully calculated, singing Wagner couldn’t have been more of a surprise.
