Praised for her “…lustrous, warm and deep [sound]…” American mezzo soprano, Lindsay Kate Brown, is quickly making her mark in the world of opera. Mr. Brown’s operatic credits include roles with The Metropolitan Opera (covers of the Inkeeper in Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, Big Stone in Aucoin’s Eurydice, and Marcellina in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro), Houston Grand Opera (Giovanna in Verdi’s Rigoletto, Gertrude in their digital production of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, and covers of Leonor in Donizetti’s La favorite and Herodias in Strauss’ Salome), The Dallas Opera (Welgunde in Wagner’s Das Rheingold, Dritte Magd in Strauss’ Elektra, and covers of Minkswoman and Stewardess in Dove’s Flight), and The Santa Fe Opera (Hippolyta in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro) among others. Recent concerts include debuts with South Florida Master Chorale and New Choral Society as the Alto Soloist in Verdi’s Requiem and Mozart’s Requiem, respectively and her conducting debut in a co-production of Amahl and the Night Visitors, and acting Assistant Conductor for Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, both with Tri-Cities Opera and Syracuse Opera. A lover of art song, Ms. Brown performs the works of Mahler (Lieder eines Fahrenden Gesellen, Rückert Lieder), Wagner (Wesendonck Lieder), Barber (Knoxville Summer of 1915), among others. Highlights of her performing career as a recitalist include: a solo concert, Serenading the Hours, with the George London Foundation, the recording of Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder for Houston Grand Opera’s 2020-2021 digital season, a feature in the Vocal Colors Recital Series at the illustrious Phillips Collection in D.C for Wolf Trap Opera. Ms. Brown made her New York City recitalist debut in November 2019, performing in recital with Dorothy Gal, soprano, William Guanbo Su, bass, and Kyle Naig, pianist, at Opera America. In October 2020, Ms. Brown performed her first Liederabend, featuring the works of 15 German composers. An advocate for education in the arts, Ms. Brown founded the non-profit organization United in Opera in December 2020. The goal of United in Opera is to provide access to information, resources, and mentorship to young members of the opera community. Currently on faculty as an Assistant Professor of Voice at Louisiana State University, Ms. Brown is an alumna of the Houston Grand Opera Studio, Rice University, SUNY Binghamton, and Mansfield University of Pennsylvania.
