Reviews

Opera New JerseyLucia di Lammermoor
“Donizetti’s doomed heroine was impressively supported by a number of stand-out performances, notably that of Eric Dubin as a suavely authoritative Ashton and Rubin Casas as a darkly compelling Raimondo.”
-Packet Publications

“A cast of uniformly strong voices carried the “Lucia” production successfully. Rubin Casas, a last minute
substitution as Raimondo, fitted in smoothly.”
-US-1 Newspaper

Boston Youth Symphony OrchestraLe Nozze di Figaro

“Enter Bartolo with his surprising admission-he is Figaro’s father!  Rubin Casas made a compassionate doctor out of him, drawing our sympathy for his plight.  His deep, rich voice lent authority and reason.  He, along with the near full cast on stage, got most everybody in the audience laughing out loud.”

“…bass-baritone Rubin Casas (Ashby) showed promising vocal material.” - Opera News Magazine

“Rubin Casas also impressed in the title role. He labored under the handicap of performing in what looked like a Bozo the Clown fright wig – he was supposed to be an old fool, after all – but he is clearly no fool vocally or dramatically. His voice was expressive throughout and he stole at least one scene as he got down on his knees like a smitten schoolboy and panted over Norina.” - Spokane Spokesman

“…Rubin Casas (Il Bonzo) deserves high praise for singing his role forcefully.” - The Shreveport Times:
