Biography[]
American tenor John Robert Lindsey, whom the Wall Street Journal called "potently nasty" for his snarling portrayal of the bartender Lloyd in the world premiere of Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell's The Shining at Minnesota Opera, has gained a reputation as a budding dramatic tenor with a connection to German, English, and new works repertoire.
In the 2016–2017 season, John Robert Lindsey will debut at Austin Opera as Ben Marco in Pulitzer-Prize winner Kevin Puts and librettist Mark Campbell's The Manchurian Candidate, a project he was involved in from its inception while a Resident Artist at Minnesota Opera. Other engagements include a reprisal of his role as Jonathan Dale in Silent Night, also by Kevin Puts and Mark Campbell, at Michigan Opera Theatre, as well as Monostatos in Barrie Kosky's critically acclaimed Silent Movie-style Die Zauberflöte at Cincinnati Opera.
Recent engagements included Don José in Carmen with Opera San Jose, Monostatos at Minnesota Opera, and on the concert stage, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, conducted by Sebastian Lang Lessing. During his time as a Resident Artist at Minnesota Opera, he performed Malcolm in Macbeth, Graf Elemer in Arabella, and Ismaele in Nabucco. While an apprentice at Des Moines Metro Opera, he covered Steva in Jenufa and Dick Johnson in La fanciulla del West. A passionate performer and proponent of new works, Mr. Lindsey has participated in workshops at Minnesota Opera and elsewhere in Sister Carrie, Parables, and Elmer Gantry by Robert Aldridge and Herschel Garfein; The Dream of Valentino by Dominick Argento; and Silent Night. Equally at home on the concert stage, he has performed with orchestra Verdi's Requiem; Mendelssohn's Elijah; Mozart's Requiem and Mass in c minor; and Handel's Messiah.
Mr. Lindsey was an apprentice artist with Des Moines Metro Opera in 2015, a Resident Artist with Minnesota Opera from 2011–2014, and a studio artist with Central City Opera in 2011. He received his master of music in vocal performance from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and his bachelor of music in vocal performance from Colorado State University in his hometown of Fort Collins. In 2015, he was invited to participate in the International Competition for Wagnerian Voices at Bayreuth. He currently resides in Conroe, Texas, near Houston, with his wife Nicole.
