"The role of the young sailor and shepherd were played by English/Indian tenor Caspar Singh who impressed me with his sweet, lyric tenor voice, imbued as it was with a wonderful timbre and clarity."

Mike Hardy, Operawire, August 2024

"Tenor Caspar Singh gave a stylistically flawless portrayal as an intrinsically shy son of strong-willed parents."

Zenaida des Aubris, Bachtrack, 6 March 2024
