“…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

“Zambello and Monge brought out some fine performances. At the top of the list: Brian Vu's Riff…” - Broadway World

“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

“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

"“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
