Chris Waddington of the New Orleans Times-Picayune recently interviewed me for my upcoming performances of Le Nozze di Figaro at the New Orleans Opera.
"I love working in Louisiana," Oropesa said. "It's more than a free trip home to see Mom, my siblings and grandparents. When I'm in New Orleans, I'm reminded that things move at a slower pace in the South, and that people really take time with each other. It's not all about cellphones and rushing."
Please head on over to and see how I ended up singing 'La Vie en Rose' at a patron event!
