“The standout of the evening was Kate Lindsey as the composer. It’s a frustrating part in that the character sings only in Act One. (Her entry in the final moments of the opera to gladhand with the wealthy bigwig was a fine, astute bit of business. Take if from one who knows young composers! ). Lindsey defined herself as an exquisite Strauss singer. So did Patrick Carfizzi, impeccable as the music teacher. (A personal plea: can Seattle Opera please bring these people back to do Strauss’s Cappriccio?)”
