Turandot with Michigan Opera Theatre
“Lindstrom could pin us to our seats with sheer volume and she commands the stage with practiced imperial gestures, but Lindstrom understands that a great Turandot needs to find the moments when the character’s vulnerability can be revealed. The soprano accomplishes just that, delivering in Act III soft yet insistent legato phrases… We saw the tender heart beneath the glacial, dragon assoluta exterior.”
“In the aria ‘In questa reggia,’ Lindstrom’s silvery but powerful voice attacked her high B’s and C’s with laser-like accuracy. She didn’t just sing those notes, she annihilated them.”
