“When illness stalled Marquita Lister's career - and threatened her life - she refused to be defeated. The soprano reveals the story of her long road back to vocal health to SUSAN DORMADY EISENBERG.” Opera News ( New York, New York) more

“It’s Hard to imagine a more beautiful Aida than soprano Marquita Lister. Young and lean, her Ethiopian princess is less regal, more flesh and blood—intensifying her lament for her war-torn country, “O Patria mia.” Dean Smith for the Charlotte Observer (Charlotte, North Carolina) more

“ Lister’s voice only flowered larger and more seductive as the opera progressed. The distilled concentration of her Vissi d’arte stopped the show.” The Detroit News (Detroit, Michigan) more

“Marquita Lister commands the stage from her entrance (as Salome) to her final bizarre yet gorgeous aria. Her versatile voice, clear as a girl’s one moment, hoarse with anger the next, then lush with desire, combined with her stunning physical presence to render the character urgently alive.” Opera News ( New York, New York) more

"The soprano Marquita Lister brought a big, lush voice and alluring beauty to the role of Bess." The New York Times (New York, New York) more
