Emily Hindrichs, Soprano
Saturday, October 25th, 2008 | Review: The Magic Flute
As the vindictive Queen of the Night, coloratura soprano Hindrichs delivered her two arias with a secure command of the altissimo register, belting out her high F's with ease.

Emily Hindrichs (Queen of the Night) sings an amazing vengeance aria - riding on a giant hand 20 feet in the air no less!

L'enfant et les sortilèges, Gianni Schicchi
Emily Hindrichs nearly steals the show with her multiple roles as a Mohawk-sporting punk (for Fire) and an enchantingly mellifluous Fairy Princess.

International Bachakademie Stuttgart: Jephtha
Die beiden Sopranpartien waren mit Kirsten Blaise (Iphis) und Emily Hindrichs (Angel) optimal besetzt...Eine spannende und bis ins Detail überzeugende Aufführung, für die es zu Recht ovationsartigen Beifall gab.

Europäisches Musikfest Stuttgart 2007: Les Illuminations
Die Amerikanerin Emily Hindrichs konnte in Benjamin Brittens zehnteiligem Liederzyklus “Les Illuminations” mit lyrischer Stimme und angenehmem Timbre punkten, zeigte sich auch technisch ausgereift, wenn der Parlando-Ton gefragt war oder eine Koloraturlinie samt Spitzentönen. Da machte sich Gestaltungswille bemerkbar zwischen verhaltenen Momenten in “Antique” und energischem Zugriff in “Marine.”

Washington International Voice Competition, 2007
The opening set was by soprano Emily Hindrichs, who studies at the New England Conservatory with James McDonald, and offered works by Ravel, Richard Strauss, Handel and Verdi. To this taste, she had the finest voice of the contestants -- firm, full, lustrous, agile and distinctive…her personal charm, her sure sense of pitch, and her refusal to indulge in the inane birdy mimesis that so often passes for coloratura singing were strong attributes.

Opera Providence: Don Pasquale
Equally great was New Orleans native Emily Hindrichs, soprano, and the rest of the small cast, made up of accomplished singers from Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 | Review: Opera Providence: a new beginning with updated, colorful production of Donizetti’s comedic classic:
Opera Providence: Don Pasquale
Filling out the list of leads was soprano Emily Hindrichs, singing the role of Norina, Ernesto’s lover, and the Sofronia, the object of Pasquale’s interests. Ms. Hindrichs has a lovely and expressive voice, good physical form and a strong stage presence, all of which makes her a natural for these type of romantic lead roles. She displayed a remarkable vocal range, especially at the higher ends, good flexibility and a pleasing open tone that never seemed stressed. Brava!

Opera Providence: Don Pasquale
The title character, Don Pasquale, played impressively and masterfully in yesterday’s dress rehearsal by bass-baritone T. Steven Smith of Providence, wears an obviously fake hair piece in order to look younger and to woo a woman, Norina. She’s played by soprano Emily Hindrichs, whose voice is strong and sometimes soaring, with clarity and delicacy. Both their voices are big, and well trained. But where each really excels in this production, which plays down showboat singing and plays up character development, is in their acting… Hindrichs has many humorous moments. The best may be when she indirectly mocks traditional opera, changing her dress behind a screen and holding a note the entire time...We hear her sing, “He’s such an idiot,” “He gives me indigestion,” and “You’re too fat.” The amusement is in hearing such a beautiful voice say such ugly things.
