Lindsay is ecstatic to be performing alongside this wonderful cast after a long hiatus spent raising her beautiful daughter (Vivien). She has performed the roles of Madame Lidoine in Poulonc’s Dialogues des Carmélite, Beth is Mark Adamo’s Little Women, and Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, with the Utah Lyric Opera Company as she completed her Master’s in Vocal Performance at the University of Utah (2010). Over the years, she has been a soprano chorus member for the Utah Opera. During her undergraduate studies at Westminster Choir College in Princeton University, Lindsay had the opportunity to perform with many world renown conductors and orchestras, including the Concertgebouw Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, and Philadelphia Orchestra. She is a lover of ensemble singing and this production has rekindled her love of the great American musical. She would like to thank her loving and supportive husband, David, as well as her mother Jodi and grandmother (Shana) Jan for instilling in her a passion for performance arts, a flame she is thrilled to share with her (almost) 10-year-old daughter.

Don't let her age fool you! She is a little girl with a strong voice.
