Lauded as a "vocal revelation" (Houston Chronicle), American soprano Katy Lindhart is a versatile and compelling artist, delighting audiences in repertoire that ranges from Verdi to Sondheim.

In the 2025/26 season, Katy returns to the Lyric Opera of Chicago as Marina in Faye Chiao’s Katie: The Strongest of the Strong, with other engagements to be announced. 

Last season, Katy made a thrilling role debut as Donizetti’s Anna Bolena for Resonance Works. OnStage Pittsburgh praised her performance, saying “Katy Lindhart takes a firm grip on Anna’s music and delivers it with a ringing voice and whole-souled sincerity… Both in the florid passages and in the sustained dramatic, her silvery tones pack a punch and ring out resoundingly.” Earlier in the season, she joined Lyric Opera of Chicago in Joe Ilick's charming Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World, and appeared with Haymarket Opera Company for an all-Handel concert program, featuring virtuosic selections from Alcina, Tamerlano, Rodelinda, and more. 

Career highlights include Mozart’s Lucio Silla for Odyssey Opera, where she “excelled in the punishingly difficult role of Giunia, singing with an impressive combination of accuracy, musicality, and sheer stamina” (Boston Globe); Tatiana in Eugene Onegin for Opera in the Heights, where her letter scene was described as "radiantly sung, a full Russian banquet of girlish delight, indecision, and resolute desire” (Houston Chronicle); and Boïeldieu's rarity, La Dame Blanche, for New Amsterdam Opera, where her “soaring soprano… aced the prima donna cadenzas” (Opera News) and she “proved equally adept in long spun legato lines and brilliant coloratura” (Parterre). ​

Katy’s repertoire also includes Alice Ford in Falstaff, Elena in I vespri siciliani, Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Donna Anna and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Marguerite in Faust, Micaëla in Carmen, Beggar Woman in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Female Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia, and others.

She has performed with organizations across the United States, including Opera Omaha, Odyssey Opera, Kentucky Opera, Cincinnati Opera, Opera Columbus, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Dayton Opera, Central City Opera, Resonance Works, Opera in The Heights, Salt Marsh Opera, Loft Opera, Opera Vermont, Winter Opera St. Louis, Raylynmor Opera, NY Choral Society, Lexington Philharmonic, and Erie Philharmonic.

Katy holds a Bachelor of Music from Simpson College and a Master of Music from the University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance. An Iowa native, she now calls Chicago home.
