Yes, I think you're right - he should retire. I too heard him in Tosca and the Dutchman. He was quite wonderful but the last time I heard him live it was singing the title role in Macbeth. I walked out. He was also pretty bad as Iago on the Met broadcast.

@Agorante Morris is simply awful these days--he needs to retire. There's a video on youtube of him singing Ella giammai m'amo at the Met gala, and it's easily the worst professional version of it I've ever heard. It's a shame, as I saw him live in Dutchman, Boris and Tosca back in the 90s, and he was very good then. But, just like Roberto Scandiuzzi, he's derailed.

I heard Morris first as a bass but then he moved up. When I saw him in Macbeth he was signing the title part. I liked his sound better in the Helden Bariton or Italian bass parts. He got a little brittle when he sang Verdi baritone.

You're kidding right? Morris had and still has a huge voice.

I saw Bonaldo Giaotti sing this beautiful aria. Morris should be sweeping the stage. Not singing on it.

Morris è un grandissimo e lo era anche Sinopoli ma sfido qualunque basso a cantare quest'aria a questo tempo!

Che brutta voce. Sta miagolando.

Not the biggest voice, but a very distinctive one. You know it's Morris within seconds of hearing it. Is such a beautiful tone.
Outstanding!!!!!
