The American mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey is considered one of the most promising voices of her generation, and regularly performs at the most prestigious opera houses in the world and at international festivals. These include the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, the Vienna State Opera, Salzburg Festival, Glyndebourne Festival, the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and the Bavarian State Opera.
In the 2021/22 season Kate Lindsey continued to demonstrate her musical and artistic versatility in a series of role debuts and lead roles. At the start of the season the mezzo-soprano made a last-minute appearance as Dorabella (Così fan tutte) at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, before going on to the Vienna State Opera to sing the role of Nerone – one of her signature roles – in a revival of the celebrated 2018 Salzburg production of Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea. She followed this with her role debut as Donna Elvira in a new production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, also at the Vienna State Opera. She also took on the lead role of Offred in a new production of Poul Ruders’s The Handmaid’s Tale at London’s Coliseum (with English National Opera) and sang Orphée with Washington Concert Opera. Kate Lindsey completed the season as La Musica / La Speranza in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at Vienna State Opera, under the baton of Pablo Heras-Casado.
Kate Lindsey records exclusively for Outhere Music France and has so far released three solo albums: Thousands of Miles (2017), of music by Weill and Korngold; Arianna (2020), of music by Scarlatti, Haydn and Handel; and her second Baroque concert album Tiranno (2021) which focusses on the figure of Nero, and includes pieces by Scarlatti, Handel and Monteverdi.
