MUSIC STAFF
Lindy has worked as music staff (répétiteur, vocal coach) for all of the major British opera companies over a career spanning more than two decades. She has worked with most of the great opera directors and conductors of the current generation, including Katie Mitchell, Richard Jones, David McVicar, Tim Albery, Jessica Cottis, Richard Farnes, Edward Gardner and Garry Walker. Her operatic repertoire encompasses the works of Purcell, Handel and Mozart, through to Puccini, Strauss, Britten, Birtwistle, and Knussen. For many years, Lindy worked on the development of new opera at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden through the company’s ROH2 initiative.
