Other highlights included his debut at the Royal Opera House and Paris Opera as Marcello in Puccini's La Boheme and his debut at Chicago Lyric Opera as Adam Brant in Mourning Becomes Electra (also perfomed in Seattle and New York).
In more recent years, highlights have included his debut at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires in the South American premier of Britten's Death in Venice, the role of Prospero in Thomas Ades' The Tempest, Tonio and Alfio in Cav/Pag for WNO.
In the winter of 2009, nineteen years after his performances of Ravenal in the RSC/Opera North production of Showboat he finally returns to the stage musical with performances of Emile de Beque in the Lincoln Center Theater production of South Pacific. In 2010 Jason returned to the heroic baritone repertoire with his first Scarpia in Salzburg, his first Iago in Otello in America and in 2011 made his German debut at Frankfurt Opera singing Baron Scarpia in Puccini's Tosca.
