Oropesa liefert funkelnde Koloraturenketten, alles wirkt völlig unangestrengt und wirklich erfühlt. Was sie da an Emotionen zeigt, wie glasklar die Intonation ist, erzeugt den dringenden Wunsch, sie in der gesamten Mozart-Partie zu hören.

Oropesa's lower notes appeared even fuller now, richer tonight, while her upper range remained intact. The evening's centerpiece was Verdi's Violetta scene — she shaped the aria's structure with theatrical precision: sliding through scales suggestive of neurosis at the cavatina, stiffening at the tempo di mezzo with newfound clarity, then attacking the cabaletta's scales with pinpoint precision.

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.
