“Caspar Sing als Wilhelm Meister zeigt nicht nur hier, dass er ein schönes Timbre mit weichen Piani, aber auch durchschlagenden Höhen besitzt."
"Caspar Singh as Wilhelm Meister shows not only here that he has a beautiful timbre with soft piani, but also striking highs.”
Susanne Kittel-May, Online Merker (September 2020)
"Caspar Singh, er singt seine aberwitzige Partie ohne jede Anstrengung, ist als Wilhelm Meister ein vom Theaterleben und besonders den Künstlerinnen faszinierter Intellektueller, der genau weiß, dass er nie zum fahrenden Volk gehören wird."
"Caspar Singh, who sings his ludicrous part effortlessly, is as Wilhelm Meister an intellectual who is fascinated by theater life and especially the artists, who knows for sure that he will never belong to the travelling people."
Reinhard J. Brembeck, Süddeutsche Zeitung (September 2020)
"Caspar Singh sieht nicht nur wie ein erste Bühnenluft schnuppernder Intellektueller aus, er singt die Musik auch mit einem für französische Opern idealen schlanken, hellen und höhensicheren Tenor."
"Caspar Singh not only looks like an intellectual who sniffs the air on stage, he also sings the music with a slim, bright tenor that is ideal for French operas."
Robert Braunmüller, Abendzeitung-München (September 2020)
Wagner LOHENGRIN / Bayerische Staatsoper, Munich
“Lastly, the four noble Brabanters show as always the excellence of the supporting roles at the Bayerische Staatsoper, and deserve to be cited: Caspar Singh, George Virban, Oğulcan Yılmaz, Markus Suihkonen”.
Guy Cherqui, Wanderer (December 2019)
Handel MESSIAH / Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, Munich
“Worthy of highlighting is Caspar Singh. The tenor jumped in at short notice for Alexandros Tsilogiannis (who walked his part on the stage). From the orchestra pit, his smooth lyrical voice rises to every height; his words sung with conviction and clarity.”
Helmut Pitsch, Opera Online (October 2019)
“As a step-in for the indisposed Alexandros Tsilogiannis, Caspar Singh was brought from the opera studio at the Staatsoper. His astonishingly well-formed tenor, already well-developed beyond Baroque repertoire, demonstrates what a great catch the sister theater on Max-Joseph-Platz has snagged”
Markus Thiel, Münchner Merkur (October 2019)
“Tenor Alexandros Tsilogiannis has no voice so only acts his part. His voice is lent to him from the orchestra pit by Caspar Singh from the opera studio of the Bayerische Staatsoper “next door”. It’s a pity for Tsilogiannis, but as a viewer and listener I personally think the two mastered the difficult situation perfectly”
Andreas Schmidt, Klassik begeistert (October 2019)
Haydn DIE SCHÖPFUNG/ Bayerische Staatsorchester
“Archangel Uriel (Caspar Singh) let the sun gently ascend with a beautiful, velvety tenor voice, “In vollem Glanze steiget jetzt die Sonne strahlend au.”
Regina Wahl-Geiger, Münchner Merkur (July 2019)
Strauss CAPRICCIO / Garsington Opera
“The Italian singers, Nika Gorič (soprano) and Caspar Singh (tenor) relished the straight-faced parody of their bel canto divertissement, and offered a playful counterpart to the company’s philosophising”
Claire Seymour, Opera Today (June 2018)
“The Italian singers, in the persons of Nika Gorič and Caspar Singh, gave perfect examples of their director’s favourite art.”
Melanie Eskenazi, Music OMH (June 2018)
