“Barbara Landis, Artistic Director of Chamber Opera Chicago, cast herself in the title role of The Medium & there could be no better choice. A strikingly, attractive young woman, with a rich mezzo-soprano, she transformed herself most effectively into an old, ugly harridan. Her hallucinatory mad scene was riveting.”
Richard Covello, Chicago Tribune
June, 2005
“Barbara Landis as Mad Margaret surely the maddest Margaret on record. Landis's mezzo voice is commanding whether she is singing, cackling or uttering unearthly screeches.”
