“Hubert Francis played a dignified Laios.”
Owen Mortimer, Opera Now Magazine
OEDIPE | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE, 2016
“The singer who made the biggest impression was Hubert Francis in the role of the slippery boyar Prince Shuisky. Rolling his tongue around the Russian text with relish, he presented exactly the extrovert characterisation required. His manipulation of Boris, informing him of a Pretender to the throne, was deliciously wicked.”
Mark Pullinger, bachtrack
BORIS GODUNOV | PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA, 2015
“It was tenor Hubert Francis who most convincingly inhabited his role as the sinister and slightly mincing Prince Shuysky, his delivery on occasion like a pantomime villain threatening to upstage Ivashchenko.”
David Truslove, Classical Source
BORIS GODUNOV | PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA, 2015
“The tenor of Hubert Francis was delectably slimy and slithery as Shuysky… This daring and accomplished semi-staging, strong as a shot of vodka…”
Hilary Finch, The Times

“Jeremy White and Hubert Francis repeated their sharply etched Sacristan and Spoletta.”
Opera Magazine
TOSCA | ROYAL OPERA HOUSE, 2013
“The other standout of the night is the Herod of Hubert Francis, impeccably sung, with a clownish charisma and exuberant physicality.”
Ewart Shaw, The Advertiser
SALOME | OPERA SOUTH AUSTRALIA, 2013
“Le ténor Hubert Francis, avec sa voix puissante et bien projetée, parvient à élever le personnage de Goro au dessus de la caricature.”
Emmanuel Andrieu, Classiqueinfo.com
