Peter Lindskoog has been a mainstay of Tulsa Opera casts for a decade, appearing in more productions than any other featured singer.

He was first hired as a cover singer (opera-speak for "understudy") for a production of "The Pearl Fishers" in 1997, then returned for his first featured role in 1998. And he has returned to Tulsa for nearly every subsequent season.

1997-1998 season -- As Prince Yamadori in "Madama Butterfly."

1999-2000 season -- As Morales in "Carmen" and de Bretigny in "Manon."

2000-2001 season -- As the Mandarin in "Turandot" and Biterolf in "Tannhauser."

2001-2002 season -- As Marullo in "Rigoletto," and the Forester in "The Cunning Little Vixen." He also played Sgt. Belcore in a one-act version of "L'Elisir d'Amore" that toured the state.

2002-2003 season -- As Benoit and Alcindoro in "La Boheme" (also sang Marcello for a student matinee), Lorenzo in "I Capuletti e I Montecchi" and Masetto in "Don Giovanni."

2004-2005 season -- As Sharpless in "Madama Butterfly."

2005-2006 season -- As the Music Master in "Ariadne auf Naxos."

2007-2008 season -- As Scarpia in "Tosca."

The Forester (Peter Lindskoog, right) and Vixen SharpEars (Clare Gormley) perform in a past production of Tulsa Opera’s “The Cunning Little Vixen.”

Lindskoog also performed in two operas presented as part of the OK Mozart International Festival, playing Alidoro in the 2002 production of "La Cenerentola" and as General Boom in the 2003 "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein."
