In the New Yorker, Alex Ross does not beat around the bush: “Davóne Tines is changing what it means to be a classical singer.”  

Bass-baritone Davóne Tines is already a phenomenon in the United States, but still a rising star in Europe.

In the Netherlands, we know Davóne from Peter Sellar’s opera productions, including Girls of the Golden West and Only the Sound Remains. Recently, he started his first series of solo recitals, in which he chose the holy mass as his starting point. The New York Times described his recital as “a compelling reconceptualization of the recital format from an artist who molded his warm, strong voice like clay in a bracingly vulnerable, honest performance.”
