SUZANNE RIGDEN
Coloratura Soprano
Magic Flute
Suzanne Rigden sang the role of First Spirit in Montreal Opera's main stage performances of Mozart's Magic Flute during her first year with Atelier lyrique. She also covered the role of Queen of the Night.
Since then, Suzanne Rigden has performed the role of Queen of the Night many times, including most recently with Montreal's Ensemble Caprice, where reviewer Wah Yeung Tan of La Scena Musicale wrote, "The vocal fireworks came from soprano Suzanne Rigden as the Queen of the Night. Precise and exacting, particularly in her formidable second aria, “Der Hölle Rache,” Rigden dispatched the coloratura and high notes with aplomb, garnering a spontaneous ovation from the audience."
Christophe Huss of Le Devoir has described her Queen of the Night this way, "Ses vocalises de la Reine de la Nuit étaient comme des flèches, avec un placement de voix parfait."
