Oct, 2016 - Nov, 2016Washington National Opera's sparkling Daughter of the Regiment
Lisette Oropesa gave a simply dazzling performance as tomboy-turned-lady, Marie. From the graceful, ardent first notes (sung off stage) to the glorious finale on the shoulders of the regiment, she was seemingly born to play the part. Her garçon persona – carried off with irresistible spirit and aplomb – was belied by one of those effortlessly lovely female voices, quite thrilling at the higher register, soaring above the chorus and the other leads when needed. It was a consummate performance, sung with notable facility.None— Hilary Stroh • BachtrackChamber Music Society of Lincoln Center - Concert

Park Avenue Armory - Recital
Jan, 2016Review: Lisette Oropesa Scales Down Her Voice but Not Her Presence
Ms. Oropesa and Mr. Churchwell brought uncommon freshness to this music, which somehow hovers on the divide between breathless desire and spiritual calm.Ms. Oropesa combined vocal refinement with articulate delivery of the texts. It’s impressive that all of the English translations printed in the program (the recital spanned Italian, German, French and Spanish) were by Ms. Oropesa herself. Clearly, she involves herself deeply in the words she sings.None— Anthony Tommasini • New York Times
