“As Figaro, Danlie Rae Acebuque was a strong singer with excellent diction, a warm lower resonance, and a brilliant top end. He was also a gifted comedic actor whose nimble antics kept the audience in stitches; one couldn’t help but enjoy the show that he was clearly enjoying as well.”

“Appearing as Falke, Danlie Rae Acebuque, partnered by fellow baritone Geoffrey Schellenberg as Eisenstein, form a resonant, well-counterpointed duo, musically and dramatically both. Acebuque a model of perpetual stylishness...Clearly revelling in their roles, the pair’s sense of fun, singly and together, is as infectious as it is inexhaustible.”

“In the opening scene, baritone Danlie Rae Acebuque delivered a sharp and funny Fiorello, which was key in setting the tone of the show.”

“Danlie Rae Acebuque had an appropriately abstract way of singing as the missionary John Smithurst, aided by Guillermo Silva-Marin’s staging, making him seem almost like a spiritual personage remote from real life, situated far outside the story, or at his pulpit. Whenever he appeared, the story seemed to come back to its roots.”

“There is excellent characterization from Elias Theocharidis as Basillio, and Danlie Acebuque as Antonio. Both have slight gestures such as conducting, a turn of the lip, or a sip of a drink that occurs throughout, which enhances the realness of the opera even more.”

“Danlie Rae Acebuque found a way to convey the outsider nature of Smithurst and was very comprehensible.”

“...and Danlie Rae Acebuque sang with warm resonance and moving artistry.”
