San Marino Tribune – Clarence Prittie (Tales of Hoffmann)
“Dennis Rupp, a Lyric newcomer,
brought convincing villainy to all four of his roles: Lindorf,
Coppelius, Dr. Miracle and
Dappertutto (his rich bass was particularly impressive in the
‘Diamond Aria’).”
California Staats-Zeitung – S.L.S. (The Count of Luxembourg)
“Von Anfang bis zum Ende…Dennis
Rupp spielte und sang im richtigen Stil einer Wiener
Operette.”
“From beginning to end…
Dennis Rupp acted and sang in the true style of Viennese Opera.”
San Jose Mercury News – Paul Hertelendy (Un ballo in maschera)
“The conspirators were distinct
personalities full of nuance and a suave James Bond manner as
played by Dennis Rupp (Sam)…”
The Desert Sun – Jeff Britton (The Bartered Bride)
“…as the villainous marriage
broker, Dennis Rupp maintains a good bass and looks the perfect
con man…”
The Palisades Post – Manfred Hofer (The Seasons)
“The soloists gave outstanding
performances…Dennis Rupp’s mellifluous bass provided soulful
leverage and melancholy
narration to the upper registers.”
The Modesto Bee – Leo Stutzin (Aida)
“Dennis Rupp offers a commanding
performance as the Pharaoh.”
The Stockton Record – Sherman Spencer (La Boheme)
“In the double role of Alcindoro/Benoit,
Dennis Rupp performed with distinction.”
The Stockton Record – Sherman Spencer (Madama Butterfly)
“Though Dennis Rupp did not present
the old, fat and fatuous concept of Butterfly’s rejected
suitor Yamadori that the text
describes, he cut a fine visual and musical figure.”
The Modesto Bee – Leo Stutzin (The Mikado)
“The other principals include…Dennis
Rupp as Pish Tush, a minor lord with a major stage
presence.”
Rick Roudebush – Opera News Review (Der Vampyr)
“Sir Humphrey Davenaut was sung
very professionally by bass Dennis Rupp, who was also
effective as an actor.”
Opera Japomica/Japan Opera Information Reports – (Maria Nockin’s
Letter from America)
“Malwina’s father, who wants
her to marry Ruthven was ably portrayed by Dennis Rupp with a
smooth, full bodied bass voice.”
The Billings Gazette – Christine Meyers (Nosferatu) {world
premiere}
“Dennis Rupp as the count’s
rascally business associate Skuller has power and persuasion in his
polished bass and sneaky
tactics.”
The Billings Outpost – Rachel Crisp (Nosferatu) {world premiere}
“Mr. Rupp plays Skuller, the shifty
employer who convinces Eric to travel to the count’s castle.
His Bulbous eyes and lanky frame
are well suited for this role, as is his entreating singing.”
The Idaho Statesman – Dana Oland (Carmen)
“Bass-baritone Dennis Rupp brought
a delightfully sleazy touch to Zuniga, the soldier who
initially sends Carmen to
prison and then seeks a relationship with her after her escape.”
