    Count Almaviva Le nozze di Figaro Kentucky Opera 2020 pc: Bill Brymer
    West Side Story The Glimmerglass Festival, 2018 Karli Cadel “…while Brian Vu displayed excellent dance skills and a smooth, supple voice as an attractively jumpy Riff. His death scene was well managed.” - Opera News
    West Side Story The Glimmerglass Festival, 2018 Karli Cadel “Zambello and Monge brought out some fine performances. At the top of the list: Brian Vu's Riff…” - Broadway World
    West Side Story The Glimmerglass Festival, 2018 Karli Cadel “The Jets, led by Brian Vu’s charismatic Riff, danced and sang in a way that can easily stand up to the classic film’s Robbins-supervised dancing.” - Operawire
    West Side Story Houston Grand Opera, 2018 Lynn Lane “It’s still jarring and appalling to hear the musical’s authority figures — police officers Krupke and Schrank — so openly dole out racial slurs with casual disdain. Yet, after initially registering that the Jets are led by an Asian-American Riff - baritone Brian Vu in a strong HGO debut - the racial diversity doesn’t really stand out. The performances do.” - Houston Chronicle
    As One Pittsburgh Opera, 2017 pc: David Bachmann "“Mr. Vu, whom I’ve often praised, continues to impress, and his performance gave me chills. The baritone maintained a gleaming character throughout various volumes and different parts of his range, expressing each line with a clear sense of purpose. His style was direct and his consonants were crisp, yet his performance still illuminated all the complexities of the character. The effect was like a simply constructed, beautiful sentence.” - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
    La bohème The Glimmerglass Festival, 2016 Karli Cadel "Brian Vu plays Schaunard, the dancer. Every time he enters, he grabs center stage, a true exhibitionist. In the boys’ scene cavorting as dancers, he demonstrates he is the real thing. His is not just physical presence but vocal size and an irresistible ability to draw audiences into his character. His intelligent choices are seen throughout the production." - DC Theatre Scene
    Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions Grand Finals, 2016 pc: Ken Howard ""When he returned with an aria from Gounod's 'Faust' the broad lyrical line revealed an ample and pleasing tone" - The New York Times
