 La
Voce - Idomeneo München
Cuvilliés-Theater
Musikalische leitung - Kent Nagano
Regie - Dieter Dorn
"The voice of the Oracle came thundering through unseen
from the back
of the theater in one particularly effective moment. Mozart
would surely
have been pleased with the first-rate singers in the performance."
Vivian Schweitzer, New York Times, 21 June, 2008
Für den majestätisch vorgetragenen Orakelspruch steht
Steven Humes
mit den Posaunisten im wirkungsvoll hallenden Foyer.

- Der Freischütz
mit der Bayerische Staatsoper
Musikalische leitung - Paolo Carignani
Regie - Thomas Langhoff
"Mit balsamischem Gesang ließ Steven Humes als Eremit
aufhorchen und knüpfte durchaus an große Vorbilder an."
Jakobine Kempkens, Der neue Merker - 25 December, 2007
"In bühnenbebender Donnerlaune dagegen zeigen sich Samiel
Jörg Hube
und der leider oft unterschätzte Steven Humes als Eremit."

 Il
frate/Carlo Quinto - Don Carlo mit der Bayerische
Staatsoper
Musikalische leitung - Paolo Carignani
Regie - Jürgen Rose
"Hingegen ist
Steven HUMES’ Bass inzwischen offenbar wunderbar gereift, wie man an
seinem Mönch/Karl V. Dem durch die teilweise ungezügelte
Lautstärke von Carignani angezettelten Wettsingen zeigten sich alle
Beteiligten – einschließlich des Chores – gewachsen und wurden dafür
im ausverkauften Nationaltheater heftigst bejubelt."

 Fasolt -
Das Rheingold - Eos Orchestra, New
York City
Musikalische Leitung - Jonathan Sheffer
Regie - Christopher Alden
"A class difference between the giants (both were clearly "Outer
Boroughs" men to the gods "Manhattanites) yielded Kevin Burdette as
a louche, gold-chain-wearing contractor Fafner and Steven Humes as a
good-hearted lunk construction worker Fasolt. Burdette sang with
solid point; Humes' warm voluminous bass (unlike other fine singers
here, Pavelka excepted) promised much for his role in a fully
orchestrated version."
-David Shengold, Classics Today - 24 Mai, 2002
"The beautiful singing of Steven Humes made the
gentle giant Fasolt
adorable."
-Paul Griffiths, Andante -24 Mai, 2002

Sarastro - Die Zauberflöte - Opera Festival of New Jersey
Musikalische Leitung - Patrick Hansen
Inszenierung - Gina Lapinski
"The vocal star of the show was Steven Humes. Humes was a notably
youthful,
handsome Sarastro, and he sang with a rich voice capable
of handling the
role's deep tones which more than did justice to
Sarastro's two big arias."
-Donald P. Delany, The (Trenton) Times - 27 Juni, 2001
"The voices here were really very good, with several superb
performances. One rarely singles out the role of Sarastro, since
this is a basso role that finds most performers struggling at both
its top and bottom. Humes was the best these ears have ever heard.
His richly resonant upper register sounded like a baritone, but when
he went down to the lows, the voice kept both body and pitch. This
is a singer to watch, because it seems to me he could become a
phenomenal Wotan."
-Albert H. Cohen, Asbury Park Press - 27 June, 2001
"...Kara Shay Thomson and Shawn Marie Williams were fine as the
three ladies. Steven Humes, as Sarastro, offered the most enjoyable
performance. He is young..., but his basso voice is full and rich,
right down to those treacherous low notes Mozart dared anyone to
sing."
-Albert H. Cohen, Opera News - Juli, 2001
"Humes provided a solid Sarastro in a register that is fiendishly
low."
-Nancy Plum, Town Topics - 27 Juni, 2001

Colline - La bohème - Athena Grand Opera
Musikalische Leitung - Mark Cedel
Inszenierung - Stephani Pierce
"The voices were awesome, the sets were spectacular, the orchestra
was seamless,
the opera a smash. Humes, however, really sent people
into reverie.
His voice was truly magnificent. A splendid production
from start to finish."
-M.A. Barnes, Athens Daily News -
25, February, 2001

Sarastro - Die Zauberflöte - Opera Birmingham
Musikalische Leitung - Garold Whisler
Inszenierung - John Harris
:
"Consistently strong performances by the leads kept this production
progressing assuredly.
Some stood out more than others. With his
rich, booming bass,
Humes played an authoritative and benevolent
Sarastro."
-Michael Huebner, The Birmingham News - 17 März, 2002
