Press and reviews


Sweeney Todd,  Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Scenes

"Another delightful surprise was a scene in the second half of the program from Sondheim's, Sweeney Todd with Alissa Anderson and Alan Dunbar belting their way through one of that dark work's most brilliant duets."

    - Jonathan Pell, The Dallas Opera Blog - August, 2011


Liederabend Recital,  American Pianist Association, Indianapolis, IN

"Dunbar's well-focused tone was linked to fine German diction and unfailing, electrifying engagement with the texts."

    - Jay Harvey, Indianapolis Star - April, 2009


Too Many Sopranos,  Indiana University Opera Theater

"St. Peter, played by baritone Alan Dunbar, [and] Gabriel, performed by Jacob Sentgeorge...made a wonderful comic duo, a sort of heavenly Penn and Teller. Dunbar's voice is as full and sonorous as ever,"

    - Eric Anderson, IDS News - February, 2007


Don Giovanni,  Indiana University Opera Theater

"But it was his servant, Leporello, played by graduate student Alan Dunbar, who stole the show. ...Dunbar's advances were smooth and believable."
