1 Heralded for her rich, satiny voice as much as her impeccable characterizations, mezzosoprano Cindy Sadler is a force to be reckoned with on the operatic scene. Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times called her "wonderful" as Baba the Turk where she "made every phrase count", and the press raved about her standout performance in which she "surpassed expectations" (NJ Star-Ledger), "made you forget she was a bearded lady... you loved her from the first note" (Philadelphia Inquirer), and "took this role to the bank, to several financial institutions, and then to various jewelers" (Princeton Packet). The 2015 season found Ms. Sadler revisiting several signature roles, including her smartly sung and portrayed Marquise de Berkenfield in La fille du regiment in her company debut with Mill City Summer Opera; her amusingly overripe Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro with the New Orleans Opera Association; and Gertrude in Romeo & Juliette in a standout performance with Austin Opera. She also made her company debut as Mrs. Quickly in Odyssey Opera s Sir John in Love, where Boston Classical Review praised her as a dark-toned presence and stage directed The Magic Flute, with her own new translation of the dialogue, for Spotlight on Opera, a summer program in Austin, TX. Upcoming engagements include reprises of her Gertrude in Roméo et Juliette with Atlanta Opera and Marquise de Berkenfield with Austin Opera. In addition, she will stage direct Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi at the Mediterranean Opera Studio & Festival in Caltagirone, Sicily in the summer of In recent seasons, Ms. Sadler debuted with Portland Opera as Ruth in Pirates of Penzance; the Jacksonville Symphony as Marcellina in The Marriage of Figaro; Pine Mountain Music Festival as Mrs. Clancy in Hoiby s one-woman opera The Italian Lesson; and Opera Piccola San Antonio in The Italian Lesson as well as Dinah in Trouble in Tahiti. She sang her first Prince Orlovksy in Syracuse Opera s Die Fledermaus, where she was proclaimed, masterful commanding and authoritative (Opera Today) and an impressive Orlofsky, deftly handling the vocal challenges and also enjoying the comedy (Taminophile.com). Ms. Sadler also made her professional stage directing debut with Opera Idaho s critically acclaimed production of Gianni Schicchi, and also directed Syracuse Opera s Resident Artist production of Little Red Riding Hood. She was lauded for her comedic charm as the fidgety Mrs. Sedley, in Chautauqua s Peter Grimes (Chautauquan Daily), her scenestealing turn as the riotously funny, man-hungry Marthe in Austin Lyric Opera s Faust (BroadwayWorld.com), and for her ability to make an impression even in a thankless role like Marie in The Most Happy Fella (Tulsa World). Other critically acclaimed performances include her commanding and dramatic company debut as The Old Baroness in Sarasota Opera s Vanessa, with special praise for her rich, low, penetrating mezzo. As Gertrude in Romeo & Juliette in her company debut at Florida Grand Opera, she was hailed as terrific and touching, with a powerful voice, and for her "rich and distinctive voice" and "charming" acting. As Zita in Gianni Schicchi at the Princeton Festival, she "not only gave us her excellent singing voice but also turned in a comic acting performance worthy of the best of Max Sennett." (Out in Jersey Magazine). In her performance as Katisha in Syracuse Opera's production of The Mikado, she "forged the perfect marriage of acting and vocal expression"; and as the Principessa in San Antonio Opera's Suor Angelica, she "commanded the stage. Ms. Sadler's professional debut occurred in 1991 concerts at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. She went on to win international acclaim for her performances in Arizona Opera's Ring Cycles in 1996 and 1998, where as the only cast member to sing in all four operas she knocked em dead (Kenneth LeFave, Opera News) with her opulent mezzo (Dorothy Stowe, Deseret News) and her dramatic presence: "with Cindy Sadler, a rich-voiced, pungent Earth Goddess, true frisson was achieved" (American Record Guide). An accomplished concert artist and recitalist, Ms. Sadler has frequently been heard in the Verdi Requiem, Messiah, and Elijah, among other works. Ms. Sadler is a graduate of the University of Texas, where she studied with veteran Metropolitan Opera star Mignon Dunn. She currently studies with Gioacchino Lauro Li Vigni. She resides in Austin with her husband, Eric, and their two opera-hating Dachshunds, Samson and Dalila. Please visit for more information.
2 CRITICAL ACCLAIM Sir John in Love "Fine singing also characterized the rest of the cast... Cindy Sadler was a dark-toned presence as Mrs. Quickly in Sigh no more, ladies. -Boston Classical Review "Odyssey makes Sir John seem less like an opera than like an exquisitely acted play that happens to be sung... There are fine performances from Cindy Sadler as Mistress Quickly, Sumner Thompson as Dr. Caius, Robert Honeysucker as the Host of the Garter Inn, and the rest of the 23-member named cast, and the chorus, all boundless energy, is a joy throughout. Falstaff gets the last word, or rather, look, and it s a look of love." -Boston Globe Roméo et Juliette "Other notable standouts are...and mezzo-soprano Cindy Sadler making her Atlanta Opera debut as Juliet s nurse Gertrude who shares occasional comic interactions with Capulet s servant Grégorio, sung by bass-baritone Alan Higgs, that imply something is going on between them. The entire cast is strong in their roles." ArtsATL.com "Standout performances included mezzo-soprano Cindy Sadler as the Nurse Gertrude, and bass Peter Volpe as Friar Laurence. As true, seasoned professionals, every moment they are on stage, they are a pure joy to watch. They both possessed a vocal timbre and powerful resonance that is rare and hard-to-find in the world of opera today; every facet of their characters were perfectly executed...not one opportunity missed. Every facial expression, every subtlety, every moment was expertly performed." -BroadwayWorld.com Trouble in Tahiti/ The Italian Lesson "Sadler and Mungo both acted effectively to convey the sadness and emptiness stemming from the difficulties of sustaining a relationship in a materialistic world. Sadler's big moments came in her garden-dream song and when her character recalls the awful movie Trouble in Tahiti in the What a movie! scene... Sadler was a one-woman show to open the double-bill presentation with The Italian Lesson...As in Tahiti, Sadler acted the part well, portraying a woman enjoying life as best she can by valuing mundane tasks and finding strength in daily ritual." -San Antonio Express-News Die Fledermaus "... the filthy rich (though eternally bored) Russian aristocrat, Prince Orlofsky, played here in masterful fashion by Cindy Sadler. Sadler s husky speaking voice, which could easily pass off as that of a man, was couched in a thick and convincing Russian accent strong enough to land the actor a spot in the cast of the James Bond thriller, From Russia With Love. Sadler s character was commanding and authoritative, drawing the eyes of all guests at the opulent ball in the tuneful drinking song Chacun à son goût, where the prince invites his guests to indulge their every pleasure. Sadler s best singing of the evening came with the magnificent Champagne Chorus, a toast she delivered with great energy and drive... Sadler delivered a most enjoyable musical and comedic effort. -Opera Today "...mezzo-soprano Cindy Sadler finds comfortable ground for her portrayal of Orlofsky, a trouser role that calls for balance between over dramatization and playing it straight." -Syracuse Post Standard " The excellent cast was the strongest component of this production, and I haven't a single complaint about any of the singing. Cindy Sadler was an impressive Orlofsky, deftly handling the vocal challenges and also enjoying the comedy. Usually Orlofsky is sung by a lyric mezzo, but Ms. Sadler lists quite a few dramatic mezzo roles in her bio, so she deserves kudos for negotiating the high tessitura of the role. I hope to see and hear more of her." -Taminophile.com
3 Peter Grimes "The rest of the cast was strong, from David Kravitz's warm, understanding Balstrode... to Cindy Sadler's fidgety Mrs. Sedley..." - The Chautauquan Daily Cindy Sadler was a hoot as the town busybody, set to stick her nose into everyone's business." - The Jamestown Post-Journal Vanessa Of course, such a score must also rely on strong voices and acting skills, both present in abundance in this production The principal singers in this production are superb, especially. Cindy Sadler as the old Baroness -Sarasota Herald-Tribune It is rare when a performance has only rock solid lead performances. The Old Baroness is a small role vocally yet she has a lot of stage time in which her temperament remains one of quiet disgust. Yet Cindy Sadler is such a fine actress that there are moments when this mean old woman becomes almost vulnerable. Sadler s rich low mezzo is penetrating and her contribution to the quintet is especially pronounced. - ConcertoNet.com Faust "... the winning cast soldiers on and breathes life into Gounod's lush score and stimulating characters....the supporting and lead performers are brilliant... Cindy Sadler is riotously funny as the man-hungry Marthe..." -Opera.broadwayworld.com The Rake s Progress The charismatic mezzo Cindy Sadler delivered top-notch comic sparks as Baba, in her prattling aria over breakfast, and then in her dishware-smashing rage (the plates dutifully handed to her by her bored husband). However, she was also unexpectedly moving in her scene with Anne, emerging as surprisingly big-hearted when Baba encourages Anne in her continued pursuit of Tom. Roméo et Juliette Fine supporting came from American mezzo Cindy Sadler in a minor role as Gertrude, the nurse; she has a rich and distinctive voice, and she was charming in a bit of good stage business involving a gang of Capulet roughs and a sword. -Palm Beach ArtsPaper La fille du régiment "The opera s sentimental moments are thoughtfully expressed the love between Marie and Tonio and the final revelations of Marie s aunt (actually, her mother), smartly portrayed and sung by Cindy Sadler. Lefkowich s cast, a mix of local singer-actors and imports, is strong." -Minneapolis Star Tribune "As the Marquise de Birkenfeld, CINDY SADLER manages to be both a fragile damsel, overcome by the sights and sounds of battle, and an imperious aristocrat, who expects her word to be taken as law, and she lends a strong mezzo-soprano to her part." -TalkinBroadway.com Cindy Sadler, mezzo, showed an impressive range and warm quality as Marie s aunt." - Idaho Statesman The Marriage of Figaro "The Bartolo of Thomas Hammons and Marcellina of Cynthia Sadler provided excellent comic support."
4 Equally riotous as Bartolo s housekeeper/mistress Marcellina was the saucy mezzo Cindy Sadler -The Des Moines Register The Mikado Mezzo-soprano Cindy Sadler forged the perfect marriage of acting and vocal expression to vitalize Katisha. Her true mezzo-soprano voice was absolutely present on the Act I finale, when she vowed vengeance against Nanki-Poo. And, at that point in every good comedy when the stereotype falls away and the character has a deep, sincere moment, Sadler beautifully conveyed Katisha s despair on the second act aria, Alone and Still Alive. -The Syracuse Post-Standard The Adventures of Pinocchio Supplementing the primary roles is a wealth of delightfully whimsical secondary characters, including scene stealing turns from Cindy Sadler as the Snail. -Twin Cities Performance Art Examiner Il trittico Mezzo Cindy Sadler just about stole the show as Schicchi's dragon lady Zita. Her comical turn as Frugola in Tabarro also added relief to the gloom. -The Times-Picayune Gianni Schicchi is an affair rising and falling on the power of the ensemble effort, although mezzo Cindy Sadler (Zita) grabbed extra portions of the limelight. -Opera Now Das Rheingold Cindy Sadler s Erda was strongly intoned. Falstaff "Of the Fab Four --- the quartet of ladies who constantly outwit their men --- contralto Cindy Sadler, as Dame Quickly the go-between, was always a thrill for her rich, satiny voice and effusive comic gestures that explained more than the English supertitles could." -Palm Beach Post "As Dame Quickly, Cindy Sadler provided another highlight. Her rich mezzo was coupled with her obvious delight in tackling this meaty character role. Reminding one at times of Tenniel s illustrations of the Duchess from Alice in Wonderland, Sadler unquestionably owned this part " -South Florida Sun-Sentinel Elektra "Of the maids who appear at the beginning of the opera, soprano Desirée Wattelet and mezzo Cindy Sadler were the most outstanding Sadler because of her honeyed low notes. " -Opera Japonica Der Ring des Nibelungen "The Erda of Cindy Sadler was nearly perfect." -Opernwelt "For two Ring seasons in Flagstaff, Sadler has been a vocal and dramatic mainstay of Arizona Opera. The mezzo appears in all four of the Ring dramas she brings to each a magnificent mezzo voice that is big, well-controlled, and always, always, unbelievably rich throughout its range. Her Erda was an all-around masterpiece of operatic declamation." -Arizona Sun South Pacific "..first-rate singing Cindy Sadler dignifies the role of Bloody Mary with some lovely singing." -Boston Herald
