| Lucretia, The Rape of Lucretia Pittsburgh Opera 2010 "Lindsay Ammann’s sumptuous contralto sound and statuesque persona made this Lucretia a force to be dealt with. She was strong and alluring, and in Rigazzi’s staging she did not submit easily to the youthful, mellifluous Tarquinius of Dan Kempson. Later, she used gesture and nuance skillfully to convey a gamut of emotions from hysteria (on "Give him the orchid") to controlled desperation (in the "Flowers" passage") to the highest grief in her confession." – Opera News (Read the Full Article) "Lucretia is Lindsay Ammann, a 25-year-old mezzo whose voice is already a force of nature, capable of sinister low chest tones and robust high notes that can express a gamut of emotions. Her lament in the "Flowers" aria is painfully affecting, followed by a subtly nuanced declamation (on a repeated low B for several lines) of her ravishment." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Read the Full Article) "Mezzo-soprano Lindsay Ammann gave a brilliant portrayal of Lucretia, magnificently sung and acted with remarkable projection of inner strength and dignity. That she sings with such focus and security from top to bottom at age 25, when her voice is still developing, augurs a major career for this artist. The opera's most haunting moments are those leading to Lucretia's suicide. She's been forgiven by her husband, but Lucretia is a deeply honorable person. Her honor comes from within her own spirit and that's been shattered. Nothing external, even her husband, can heal the shame and pain she feels. Ammann's portrayal conveys this, which is why her performance is a big-league achievement that's not to be missed." – Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (Read the Full Article) |
