Marie at Theater an der Wien
“Lise Lindstrom was an impressive Marie, incapable of love, and yet possessing the drive to escape this state — vocally convincing in all nuances.”
“Lise Lindstrom brings a capital reputation to her house debut as an intense singing-actress, with Turandot and Salome among her international conquests. Her Marie is equally credible, well meeting the vocal challenges and particular focus on the text involved, cold and resigned – and somehow beyond sympathy – with her fate already sealed. Another fine role in the soprano’s operatic stable.”
“Lindstrom’s magnificent vocal focus and expansive range cut through the orchestra, regardless of tessitura, while effectively portraying a self-destructive, harried, unhappy woman and a negligent mother.”
