A VOICE OF BEAUTY AND EXPRESSIVITY

Lindsay’s soprano gains in beauty and expressivity with every successive production. Her sound has both brightness and depth. She held the audience completely spellbound with Galatea’s air “Heart, the seat of soft delight” where the grace of her singing expressed both Galatea’s sorrow and continued love of the deceased Acis.

BROADWAY WORLD REVIEWS ACIS AND GALATEA

In addition to the bright easy suppleness she’s always had, her tone has acquired additional warmth and sweetness. She is enchanting in the role of a naive but powerful sea nymph enamoured with a mortal.

PRAISE FOR GALATEA

Singing Galatea, soprano Meghan Lindsay, a pivotal mainstay in Pynkoski’s resident repertory company, deeply impresses, gifting the evening with a strong, giving heroine, her lower register tinted with warm mezzo-like colours, her top as ringing and bell-like as ever.

BACHTRACK REVIEWS HANDEL’S RESURREZIONE

Pride of place perhaps goes to Meghan Lindsay as Mary Magdalene. She is singing beautifully these days and last night was no exception. Her full, resonant soprano filled the hall. Her acting too was exceptionally moving.

A POIGNANT MARY MAGDALENE

Soprano Meghan Lindsay brings great compassion to the assignment, her voice shimmering and luminous, her encapsulation of anguish and desperation striking straight to the heart.

ExPRESSIVE PORTRAYAL OF MARY MAGDALENE

Soprano Megan Lindsay and mezzo-soprano Allyson McHardy had the the toughest roles and had to sing the emotionally-draining lamentations….It was that type of emotional level that the two singers had to express and they did. Lindsay has a superb, expressive voice.

RAVE REVIEWS AS DIDO

Appearing as Dido, soprano Meghan Lindsay is as radiant as she is disconsolate, her silvery moonlit tone shining with apprehension, frightened as much by the intensity of her love for Aeneas as the machinations of the gods. .

DEBUSSY WITH TAFELMUSIK

Conductor Fallis found all the passion and nuance that the music presents, while soprano Meghan Lindsay as Mélisande and bass-baritone Douglas Williams as Prince Golaud gave rapturous performances.

The three sopranos — Meghan Lindsay as Donna Anna, Carla Huhtanen as Donna Elvira and Mireille Asselin as Zerlina — equal the best Mozart interpreters anywhere in the world.

191029_53207+copy.jpg — A Return to Donna Anna

Meghan Lindsay sang Donna Anna in 2011 and does so again...the passage of time has only increased the breadth and especially the power of her soprano. These qualities only make Lindsay’s portrayal of Anna has become stronger and turns her many arias of mourning into expressions of the only unfeigned emotions in the entire opera.

191029_51764+copy.jpg — A Delightful Don Giovanni

Soprano Meghan Lindsay (Donna Anna) displayed her strong, clear, bright sound that always attracts the ear, and radiates passion and drama.

Meghan as Ilia a Success

[Lindsay’s] technique and control of dynamics are impeccable making each one of her arias from “Padre, germani, addio” to “Zeffiretti lusinghieri” shine like a jewel.

Opera Canada Reviews Idomeneo

Lindsay delivered a roller coaster of lustrous phrasing and expression throughout her emotionally torn performance, especially in her Act II emotional nadir “Se il padre perdei”, and also in the equally affecting and nuanced cantabile masterpiece “Zeffiretti, lusinghieri” in Act III."

From “O del mio dolce ardor” (O my gentle love) to the dramatic “Di te scordarmi, e vivere", Lindsay sang the suitor’s role with high power...this is a lofty part, and Lindsay delivered it all with confident clarity and presence

Actéon and Pygmalion a Triumph in Toronto

The acting (Lindsay) brings to the statue’s coming to life is beyond what one often encounters in the best productions of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale where the statue of Hermione also comes to life.

Charmantes Miniatures Françaises

Meghan Lindsay apporte beaucoup de noblesse à la courte intervention d’Aréthuze (Ah qu’on évite de langueurs).

ACTEON+-+2018+Opera+Atelier+1A.jpg — Actéon and Pygmalion in Versailles

Meghan Lindsay impressed as Aréthuze in Actéon and Galatée in Pigmalion…She was a perfect Galatée, embodying the dream of the newborn, innocent – yet sexy – woman, created by the artist to suit his desires.

Bachtrack on Ulysses

Meghan Lindsey was an impressive presence as Minerva. Somehow, however much in the background, she caught the eye whenever she was on stage and sang with considerable authority when required.

ulysses+%281%29.jpg — Ulysses is Moving and Memorable

Meghan Lindsay played the large role of the goddess Minerva to great effect.

A Fierce Minerva

Meghan Lindsay’s bright metallic soprano is fierce power personified in the role of Minerva

Ulysses is Theatrical Fireworks

As Minerva, soprano Meghan Lindsay gifts The Return of Ulysses with some of its most resounding moments of declamation, her pale, spectral presence chillingly haunting; her voice, a divine luminescent force.

Opera News Reviews Dido

Soprano Meghan Lindsay provided elegantly phrased support as Dido’s sister Belinda

Opera-Atelier__Don-Giovanni-Meghan-Lindsay-and-company_Photo-by-Bruce-Zinger-2019_1.jpg

Dido is Remarkable

Soprano Meghan Lindsay is Belinda, sister to Dido, confidante and critic. Vocally silvery and gleaming, the gifted early opera specialist lights up this shimmering Dido and Aeneas, her character a key player in building and rebuilding musical momentum scene after scene. Forever in command, Lindsay clearly glories in her role.

Schmopera Reviews Dido

As Belinda, Dido's faithful handmaiden, soprano Meghan Lindsay brings her characteristic twinkly voice to the spritely melisma Purcell set out of her. She was so appealing in this role. There was a youthful vitality in her demeanour and voice that made Belinda one of the most lovable characters on the stage.

A Success with Giunia

Meghan Lindsay, in the role of Giunia, the tragic heroine, demonstrated herself to be a consummate performer in the role. She injected a dark, somber quality to her voice that I have not heard from her before.

Lucio Silla Sets a New Standard for Excellence

Appearing as Giunia, soprano Meghan Lindsay voices a strong, resolute heroine depicted in vivid primary colours. Gifted with numerous arias, her clear, translucent top speaks of unbending purity and goodness.

Globe and Mail: A Production in Perfect Balance

Meghan Lindsay was powerful and effective as Giunia, the object of both Silla’s lust and Cecilio’s love.

A Dazzling Revival of a Mozart Rarity

As Giunia, Meghan Lindsay also shines with greater vocal strength and control than ever before and dazzles with her coloratura passages.

Alcina is a Realization of Sublime Beauty

Soprano Meghan Lindsay's portrayal of the title role had the richness needed to elevate the figure of 'Alcina' to the status given to the most tragic characters in the operatic repertoire.

Musical Toronto says Alcina is a Hit

Lindsay’s Alcina commanded great feminine power over her island dominion. This was until hubris touched her, and the once conceited ego panics at the thought of her purview crumbling around her.

Schmopera Reviews Alcina

Alcina is her role through and through. The comfort in her middle range coupled with crystal-clear diction added an incredible depth of colour when she went into the top end of her vocal line. Her aria at the top of Act II was breathtaking.

alcina+5.jpg — Opera Going Toronto Loves Alcina

In Alcina’s title role, soprano Meghan Lindsay summons a sorceress of enormous complexity. Graced with a bright, limpid instrument, luscious timbre and superb technique, Lindsay reaches deep into her character to craft a performance bursting with paradox.

alcina toronto star.jpg — Toronto Star Profiles Ottawa Singers

In Opera Atelier’s Alcina, Meghan Lindsay plays a “man-eater,” Wallis Giunta plays a woman disguised as a man and Mireille Asselin plays a fairy who falls in love with him/her.
It’s a good thing the three women are such good friends.

alcina+6.jpg — Opera Atelier Triumphs with Alcina

The cast was made up of OA veterans – all so vocally talented that it’s hard to know where to begin singing their praises. With the strong, edgy performance of soprano Meghan Lindsay as the sorceress Alcina?

alcina+7.jpg — Mooney on Theatre Reviews Alcina

Ms. Lindsay managed to inject enough bite into her timbre and enough menace to her demeanor that she was convincing in the role of the evil sorcerer.

Ars+Lyrica.jpg — Arts and Culture Texas Reviews Ars Lyrica

The bulk of the concert was devoted to two secular wedding cantatas by J.S. Bach, which were given scintillating readings by soprano Meghan Lindsay

Ars+Lyrica2.jpg — The Houston Critic on Ars Lyrica

Soprano Meghan is a survivor, and completed two entire Bach cantatas in one program, which included nine arias, nine recitatives and one gavotte. I got tired just counting! Amazing stamina while performing dramatically or with lilting tones.

With her ravishing voice and dramatic skills, the soprano will win over her audience both male and female.

ARMIDE+2012+0412_17739.jpg — A Standout Star at Glimmerglass

Next to Dye, Canadian soprano Meghan Lindsay is the production's standout singer in the dual role of Sidonie and the Water Nymph. Athough minor characters in this opera, Lindsay's roles delighted the crowd with her sweet and sinuously expressive vocal delivery, made all the more meaningful through the enhanced movement of her hands — which generally resembled those of a ballerina. The fact that she is a Glimmerglass Young Artists speaks volumes about the depth of this program.

Don+G+original.jpg — Don Giovanni Delights

Meghan Lindsay’s Donna Anna also impressed me enormously, offering a stunningly attractive stage presence married to the kind of crisp, clear sound that gives the role its true place in the score.
