Glorious.

[@John_Pianist]

Jerry had a unique voice control, always focused and never hired sounds. Pure vocal power and perfect accent.

I saw this on TV when it was first broadcast--the same year I first got interested in opera. Rest in peace, Jerry.):

I've seen a lot of La Boheme productions but none as heartfelt and beautifully acted as this recital version. Magnificent singers!!

[@maxinecornucci5953]

His début in Pêcheurs de Perles is the stuff of legend. He floated that ppp B6 for what seemed like a full minute! I miss both of these singers so much! This is iconic. Beverly always discovered the best singers!

[@AvalonMorley]

Why did he have to leave us that way? This is so beautiful! Love them both.

[@churchhymnsandpsalms]

Wonderful, Hadley! You are missed...

[@christianlibrul]

Hadley and Tucker were America's greatest tenors. Very different, but glorious.

[@ransomcoates546]

Bravo to Hadley for not taking the C. I love all interpolated high notes - except that one.

Jerry Hadley was always my favorite ‘modern era’ Tenor.

There are 7 people dislike... hard to imagine what they will LIKE? Where can I find this kind of performance? Rush to have the tickets. Glorious, gold standard, he and she...
