"Kyle Sanchez Tingzon was perfect: his voice had a beautiful luster in both the lower and higher registers."
"Kyle Sanchez Tingzon’s gorgeously sung Endimione occupied the stage and ravished the ear."
"Equally impressive was the very young and new Filipino countertenor Kyle Sanchez Tingzon whose elegiac and plaintive timbre as Endymion seduced the ear and touched the heart."
"Tingzon's warm, firm, and agile voice... is also achingly eloquent"
"But never fear, Rinaldo (the ingratiating countertenor Kyle Tingzon) is here to save the day. Bounding onstage in a royal blue suit and cape, complete with black eye mask, his biceps are flexed for all to admire: He’s the superhero this 1711 opera by German-English composer George Frideric Handel has been waiting for. Tingzon’s warm, firm and agile voice projects heroic self-assurance that abandons his character when a few harmless songbirds come too close. ... Tingzon’s heartsick Rinaldo is also achingly eloquent, bereft and alone when the sky darkens and it begins to snow." "
