AdèsThe Tempest
Cyndia Sieden as the Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte!
“Her phenomenal range is easily matched by a commanding stage presence and from the moment she walks onto the stage, the audience is entranced. She is Queen, vocal gymnast and daredevil all wrapped in one.”
--Paul Dyer, artistic director, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra
“Cyndia Sieden delivered the coloratura chirps with disarming lyrical poise, her soprano shining like a shaft of sunlight through the glittering chinoiserie of Stravinsky’s lavish orchestration.” --Chicago Tribune
