Sid: Albert Herring, English National Opera 2025

“Dan D’Souza’s Sid and Anna Elizabeth Cooper’s Nancy, spark the evening into life: their collusion has warmth and bite, their duet actually tells the story, and their stage business around the lemonade is crisp, motivated and funny”
Music OMH

“Two ENO Harewood artists, Dan D’Souza and Anna Elizabeth Cooper, excel as the lovers Sid and Nancy.”
Fiona Maddocks, Observer

“Dan D'Souza gave Sid a lovely swagger, first appearing on his bike complete with a cowboy hat. This Sid oozed self-confidence, and when Sid talks to Albert about wooing there was nothing remotely suggestive in D'Souza's performance yet he succeeded in giving Albert ideas.”
Planet Hugill

“Sid, was taken with great swagger (and vocal presence) by Dan D’Souza, all toxic masculinity; but of course, musically he and Caspar Singh were a fine team, nicely contrasted as Britten intended”
Seen and Heard International

Thoas: Iphigenia in Tauris, Blackheath Halls Opera 2025

“Dan D'Souza managed to make something slightly heroic, rather stylish and definitely rather sexy from Thoas, who can too often be seen as a boorish thug. His two interventions in the opera had an admirable and enlivening vigour too them, yet were sung with requisite style and for once this Thoas was a noble savage.”
Planet Hugill

“Dan D’Souza brought Thoas, the Taurian king, vividly to life with cruelty and not a little charm.”
Seen and Heard International

“The outsider figure of local king Thoas, meanwhile, is given a fiercely hostile presence by D’Souza’s emphatic baritone.”
The Stage

Horatio: Hamlet/Buff:Impresario, Buxton International Festival 2025

“Mentioned, too, should be Dan D’Souza (Horatio), with a fine baritone voice which Buxton has done well to land in a relatively minor role”
The Arts Desk

“Dan D’Souza made a big impression in the role of Horatio”
Bachtrack

“His assistant, Buff, was given an energetic and sympathetic reading by the baritone Dan D’Souza, whose warm, honeyed timbre and lyrically strong voice impressed. He rolled comfortably with the comic goings-on and successfully showed off his own comedic skills.”
Opera Wire

Valdeburgo: La Straniera, Chelsea Opera Group, Cadogan Hall 2025

“Dan D’Souza stood out for the fully-fledged vocal and dramatic character that he developed as Valdeburgo”
Opera Today

“Dan D’Souza as Valdeburgo was superb, with a gentle gravitas and a delightfully lush and earthy baritone”
Gramophone

“Dan D’Souza’s baritone was overwhelming by virtue of its strength and tone”
Music OMH

“Bringing an even more spirited approach to this concert performance was the baritone Dan D’Souza who needed only costume and makeup to transfer immediately to a staged version: his sense of drama, vividly revealed in trenchant tone, was exciting”
Opera Magazine

Apollo: Apollo e Dafne, London Handel Festival 2025

“The heroically rich-toned Dan D’Souza was a swaggering Don Draper”
The Guardian

“The solo singing is strong and often outstanding… Dan D’Souza is an exciting exponent of Apollo”
The Stage

“…the impressive baritone of Dan D’Souza as Belcore with Clark Gable looks…”
Culture Whisper

“Dan D’Souza sings with admirable swagger…”
The Observer

“Dan D’Souza’s Belcore does some of the best singing of the night…”
iNews

“Dan D’Souza revealed a lush, brightly coloured, well focused baritone, and made Belcore more three-dimensional than is often the case. His clear, forthright diction gave unalloyed pleasure from the start - he clearly has an exciting career ahead of him”
Music OMH

“Dan D’Souza was unceasingly strong as the lascivious Belcore.”
London Unattached

“Dan D’Souza displays a notably firm and aesthetically pleasing baritone as Belcore…”
Opera Online

“Dan D’Souza brought a hint of camp to Belcore and sang with a handsome swagger.”
The Spectator

Schaunard: La bohème / Mid Wales Opera 2022

“Dan D’Souza was a lithe and warm-toned Schaunard.”
Opera Magazine

Escamillo: Carmen/Kings Head Theatre 2019

“Dan D’Souza is a charismatic Escamillo; anyone would fall for that beguiling baritone”
Amanda Holloway, The Stage

Death: Savitri/Hampstead Garden Opera 2020

“Dan D’Souza was impressively charismatic”
Neil Fisher, The Times

“Dan D’Souza intoned Death’s doom-laden utterances with an appropriately saturnine baritone”
Hugh Canning, Opera Magazine
