Rigoletto at the Metropolitan Opera has been a huge success! Thanks to everyone who has come to the performances and listened to the broadcasts on the radio. Here are some reviews!
 
New York Times
"And Lisette Oropesa was a Gilda who invited tenderness. Her pure, smooth soprano and alert presence were both endearing"
 
New York Post
"Still, as Gilda, Lisette Oropesa offered a pearly “Caro nome” in her poised soprano"
 
Latinos Post
"Oropesa's "Caro Nome" was one of, if not the highlight, of the evening"
 
An Unamplified Voice
"Oropesa also has, perhaps more noticably for some, a pure light lyric soprano that is as balanced and classically expressive as recent decades have seen."
 

Michael Mayer’s bold new production locates Verdi’s tragedy of lust, betrayal, and revenge in Las Vegas in 1960. George Gadnidze sings the title role and Lisette Oropesa is his beautiful daughter, who falls under the spell of Vittorio Grigolo's womanizing Duke.

“Rigoletto hits the jackpot” (WQXR).

Michael Mayer “has brought theatrical flair to his operatic debut” of Verdi’s tragic masterpiece (New York Times).

Production a gift of the Hermione Foundation, Laura Sloate, Trustee and Mr. and Mrs. Paul M. Montrone
