With a voice "capable of sinister low chest tones and robust high notes that can express a gamut of emotions" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and a stage presence that has been called "a force to be dealt with" (Opera News), Lindsay Ammann is rapidly rising as a radiant star in the opera world. Possessing an instrument well-suited for the most dramatic of roles, Ms. Ammann is proving to be a future staple in the works of Verdi and Wagner.
In the 2015-16 season, Ms. Ammann sings with the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra as Martha in a concert of Adam's The Gospel According to the Other Mary in Strasbourg, France. She then sings Suzuki in Madama Butterfly with North Carolina Opera, followed by Third Lady in Die Zauberflöte with Geneva Opera. Ms. Ammann will be the Alto Soloist in Verdi's Requiem with the South Dakota Symphony before debuting at the Kennedy Center in the Washington National Opera Ring Cycle, in which she will sing the roles of Erda, Schwertleite and First Norn. In the future, she will be seen at major international houses including the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Canadian Opera Company. Ms. Ammann made her Metropolitan Opera debut in Robert LePage's Ring Cycle as Rossweisse in Die Walküre, under the baton of James Levine in 2011. Highlights of recent seasons include, Schwertleite in Die Walküre (Canadian Opera Company); Olga in Eugene Onegin, Dryade in Ariadne auf Naxos, Dame Quickly in Falstaff, Mary in Der Fliegende Holländer, Flosshilde in Götterdämmerung (Oper Stuttgart); Beatrice in Le Donne Curiose (Wolftrap Opera); Goffredo in Rinaldo, Lucretia in The Rape of Lucretia, Dame Quickly in Falstaff, Olga in Eugene Onegin (Pittsburgh Opera); Olga in Eugene Onegin, Page in Salome (Opera Theatre of Saint Louis).
