• “At his side is Marquita Lister, who plays a fierce, determined Lady Macbeth. As the evening wears on and she becomes more and more prepared to take risks with her tart, succinct soprano, her performance becomes increasingly compelling. She dares to vocally formulate the murderous attack with exposed hushed and loud notes, thus achieving both momentum and expression.”
  Sächsische Zeitung 05/10/2005 (Bernd Klempnow)
  
• “And, last but not least, the magnificent duo Marquita Lister – Lucio Gallo. They play the couple whose murderous obsession avails to nothing without a trace of vanity, but with a dense expressivity: this fabulous American soprano has a truly great dramatic voice that remains clear and controlled even in the high parts….” Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, 05/10/2005 (Kerstin Leiße)
  
•  “Similarly expressive, and unsparing of her vocal resources, is MARQUITA LISTER’s performance of Lady Macbeth – a dark, voluminous soprano with a negroid vibrato and wildly determined to dare the utmost. She avails herself of a wealth of vocal nuances – somnambulist piani, moaning lamentations, trance-like slurring. Rarely has the duet with Macbeth after the murder of King Duncan been heard on such an eerily bloodless note as the one achieved by these two singers. The famous sleepwalking scene of Lady Macbeth, who has slit her wrists and is now paying for her guilt with her own life, is also extraordinarily convincing, due to the singer’s striking use of the chest register, the differentiated colors of her intonation, and the splendid D flat at the end.” Orpheus 11/12 – Bern Hoppe
  
• “... Marquita Lister, the ideal cast both in voice and stature.” Frank Piontek
  
• “... American singer Marquita Lister, who agreed to stand in for the part at short notice… impresses with her enormous versatility. She plays the introverted passages just as intensely as the moments of guilt and mental anguish. Her interplay with Italian baritone Lucio Gallo in the nightmarish duets of the murderous couple is a stroke of luck for the production.”
  Feuilleton 06/10/2005 (Jörn Peter Hiekel)
  
• “Philipp Himmelmann has impressive performers at his disposal for every part. Marquita Lister as Lady Macbeth is brave enough to occasionally diverge from Belcanto, which is exactly what Verdi wanted for this part.”
  Neues Deutschland, 06/10/2005 (Roberto Becker)
