CINDY SADLER has been heralded for her "rich, satiny" voice (Palm Beach Post), "a magnificent mezzo voice that is big, well-controlled, and always, always, unbelievably rich throughout its range" (Arizona Sun); her "imposingly sung and vividly acted" performances (Boston Globe), and a stage presence which embraces drama and comedy with equal flair. She has appeared across the United States in venues such as Lyric Opera of Chicago, Opera Pacific, Opera Boston, Arizona Opera, the Hollywood Bowl, Austin Lyric Opera, Fort Worth Opera, Austin Symphony, Central City Opera, and Chamber Opera Chicago. Her 2008-2009 season encompasses performances as Hecate with Austin Shakespeare’s production of MacBeth, featuring original music composed for her voice; Frugola, Zita, and La Zia Principessa in El Paso Opera’s production of Il Trittico, and New Orleans Opera’s Trittico, where she "just about stole the show as Schicchi’s dragon lady, Zita" and "added relief to the gloom" of Tabarro (Theodore P. Mahne, The Times-Picayune). Other recent performances include Berta in Il Barbiere di Siviglia with Austin Lyric Opera, and the mezzo soloist in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with Youngstown Symphony. Most recently, she has been heard Mamma Lucia in Cavalleria rusticana with San Antonio Opera, featuring Andrea Bocelli as Turiddu and Veronica Villaroel as Santuzza. Upcoming engagements include company debuts as Erda in Das Rheingold with Indianapolis Opera; and the Pigeon and the Snail in Jonathan Dove’s The Adventures of Pinocchio with Minnesota Opera. Ms. Sadler will also return to Austin Lyric Opera as Mère Jeanne, covering Madame de Croissy, in Dialogues des Carmélites. Ms. Sadler is a graduate of the University of Texas, where she studied with veteran Metropolitan Opera star Mignon Dunn. She resides in Austin with her husband, Eric, and their two opera-hating Dachshunds, Samson and Dalila. Please visit www.cindy-sadler.com for more information.
