LA Opera - Florencia en el Amazonas
Nov, 2014 - Dec, 2014'Florencia' makes undemanding return to L.A. Opera
With svelte phrases and gleaming high notes, the American soprano Lisette Oropesa introduced a primly earnest Rosalba, a writer looking to pen a book on the diva.None— Timothy Mangan • Orange County RegisterBayerische Staatsoper - Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Sep, 2014 - Oct, 2014A colorful, fantastical Entführung at the Bayerische Staatsoper
Now for the human stars: Entführung is Konstanze’s show, and Lisette Oropresa doesn’t disappoint. “Ach, ich liebte” is not an easy first aria, and she falters on a few high notes and trills. But by the time she reaches Konstanze’s showpiece “Martern aller Arten”, she’s tossing off coloratura and high Ds with ease and looking fiercely defiant, to boot.None— Ilana Walder-Biesanz • Bachtrack
Grand Théâtre de Genève - Rigoletto
Aug, 2014 - Sep, 2014Rigoletto, antihéros d’un cirque vicieux
Mais le moment de grâce absolue se niche sous les étoiles d’un ciel de rêve. Lorsque Gilda apparaît en trapéziste lunaire au-dessus de la roulotte paternelle. Lisette Oropesa offre là un exemple de chant aérien, dans une magnifique longueur de voix, aux nuances souples, à la musicalité fine et à l’humanité frissonnante. Un sommet du genre.But the moment of absolute grace is nestled under the stars of a dream sky. When Gilda appears as a lunar trapeze artist above her father's caravan. Lisette Oropesa offers here an example of airy singing, in a magnificent vocal register, with flexible nuances, fine musicality, and thrilling humanity. A pinnacle of the genre.— Sylvie Bonier • Le TempsRavinia Festival - Le Nozze di Figaro
Aug, 2014Ravinia’s intimate Mozart magic remains with Conlon’s well-cast “Figaro”
The combination of his (John Relyea) big but expressive bass-baritone and her (Lisette Oropesa) lithe, silvery soprano was enchanting. Moving with the elegance of a ballerina, Oropesa flitted easily between outraged innocence and wily cynicism.None— Wynne Delacoma • Chicago Classical Review
