"Julian Hubbard sings with vociferous enthusiasm, making Tamino a properly heroic figure."
The Spectator
"Pinkerton (…) sung with highly sensitive lyricism by tenor Julian Hubbard."
Irish Times
"Julian Hubbard was consistently good in the title role, being particularly convincing in the passionate duet with Giulietta."
Bachtrack
"Der liebenswürdig-leidenschaftliche Julian Hubbard als Siegmund beeindruckte nicht nur musikalisch, sondern auch durch große Textverständlichkeit."
Salzburger Nachrichten
"…und der Engländer Julian Hubbard als Siegmund, prägen mit der Strahlkraft ihrer frischen Stimmen das Ereignis, als das man die Produktion bezeichnen möchte."
Der Standard
"Dem ungemein sympathischen Siegmund Julian Hubbard (…) standen alle geforderten Höhen (incl. der für das blühende Wälsungenblut) und eine breite Mittellage mit festem baritonalem Fundament zur Verfügung – eine optimale Kombination für den Kämpfer und den Liebenden. Sein akzentfreies Deutsch muss extra gelobt werden."
Der neue Merker
"The manipulative Cassius was essayed by tenor Julian Hubbard, who gave an energetic, precise, and vocally expressive portrayal in which he displayed agility and a strong, attractive upper register."
