Reviews
LISETTE OROPESA | Crans-Montana
Vocally, Lisette Oropesa remains one of the greatest sopranos of our time. Her technique is formidable — crystal-clear coloratura, effortless high notes, immaculate breath control — but what elevates her artistry is the musical intelligence behind every phrase. Each ornament feels intentional, every pianissimo meaningful. In a recital format, without staging or orchestra, there is nowhere to hide — and she needed none. It was pure artistry.— Geoffrey • Opera Diary
