Praise

“At her best, Brown offered not only luminous full singing, but also a sense of the character, communicating the quick changes of mood from despair to feverish excitement at coming up with a new tune, so clearly that you could hear and share her reaction.” - Anne Midgette

“The harried composer, a role performed with vocal and theatrical ardor by Lindsay Kate Brown. The mezzo’s bright, ample voice and wonderfully animated phrasing yielded great charm in the passage where the composer expounds on a sudden melodic inspiration, and affecting intensity in the “heilige kunst” paean.” - Tim Smith

“[Composer was] sung with puissant verve by mezzo-soprano Lindsay Kate Brown.” -Charles Downy

“Brown posses a uniquely dark timbre. She has great control over her large instrument, which was showcased no finer than in “Sgombra e la sacra selva” from Bellini’s Norma. The aria, vulnerable and exposed, is hard to pull off as a young singer, but along with a striking instrument she’s also a committed actress. Her second aria, “Da, chas nastali” from Tchaikovsky’s The Maid of Orleans, may have been slightly overindulgent, but boring she is not.” - Arya Roshanian
