Eva Lindqvist initially studied Piano (performance and pedagogy) at the Vienna University of Music, graduated with a “magister artium” [masters of arts] and shortly thereafter obtained a teaching assignment at the department for keyboard instruments of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
She received her vocal education from Tamar Rachum at the Rubin Music Academy/Tel Aviv.
Master classes with Hilde Zadek, Sena Jurinac and Ileana Cotrubas as well as intensive studies of the Swedish-Italian vocal technique with Maestro David Jones in New York completed her education.
Eva Lindqvist performed at concerts and productions all over Europe and in Israel. In Israel she sang “Elektra” in Mozart’s Idomineo as well as in Strauss’s Elektra. In Karlsruhe, Germany she took the role of “Freia” in Wagner’s Rheingold. Under Maestro Gustav Kuhn she sang “Brünnhilde” in Götterdämmerung.
Her Repertoire includes predominantly Wagner roles, among those: Freia (Rheingold), Elisabeth (Tannhäuser), Sieglinde (Walküre), Ortrud (Lohengrin) and Brünnhilde (Götterdämmerung), as well as works by Alban Berg (Marie from Wozzeck), Puccini (Turandot) and Richard Strauss; Strauss’s Ariadne (Ariadne auf Naxos), Elektra and Chrysothemis (Elektra), as well as Salome are some of her standards.
Another field of activity that Eva Lindqvist has been attending to for several years with great passion and commitment is that of the instruction of young singers. In her Vienna vocal studio young people who want to start a stage career, as well as singers who, as a consequence of wrong technique or illness, are in a vocal crisis will find advice, help and intensive training possibilities.
