| ...Hagan
acquitted himself nobly in the high and difficult solo part of the "Sanctus," sung against the exquisite background of women's voices. Hagan sang from somewhere in the rear of the top balcony, which lent a special celestial quality to the floating tones of his smooth pellucid singing. John Schneider The Atlanta Journal |

| Sam Hagan was clearly the au- dience favorite. His poignant pre- sentation of the Carmen: Flower Song was beautiful, dramatic and secure. This was complemented with the later rendition of It Ain't Necessarily So, full of formidable technique and sheer showmanship. Kitty Lamb The Augusta Chronicle |

| Mr.
Hagan followed Miss
Holliday and did a breath- taking performance of "M'Appari Tutt' Amor" from the opera "Martha." The audience may have been breathless, but Mr. Hagan surely was not as he phrased so beautifullyrevealing his mastery of breath control and articulation. Wylie Graydon III The Albany Herald |
