Galvin's powerful voice was at its warmest in "Some Enchanted Evening" from Rodgers & and Hammerstein's "South Pacific." (WASHINGTON POST)

No opera in the world is shorter, simpler or funnier than Domenico Cimarosa’s “Il Maestro di Cappella,” which got a scintillating performance Sunday. It needs only one singer: on this occasion, bass Gene Galvin. Done properly, it is hilarious, and it was done properly in this performance. Galvin’s voice is rich in tone, flexible in expression; he is as talented in acting as in singing. (Washington Post)

Eugene Galvin, who didn't have a lot to sing as Alidoro (this version's fairy godmother), was always felt as a silent presence. Whether at the edge of the stage or when comforting and encouraging Angelica, he carried off the role with dignity and a wry sense of omniscience. (Washington Post)
Gene Galvin as Schicchi turned in a more-than-respectable performance, quietly giving the character more weight than the others onstage without rubbing everyone’s face in it, and offering solid singing to boot. (Washington Post - Gianni Schicchi with In Series, DC)
The Antonio of bass-baritone Eugene Galvin was a grumbling grump who hurled out ‘Ah Signor! Signor!’ in the Act Two finale with such fervor that it seemed that he would have been content to see the unwitting destroyer of his beloved blooms hanged for his crime.
