Lucia di Lammermoor selected as Gramophone Editor’s Choice album for December 2025.

Thank you so much to Gramophone for selecting Lucia di Lammermoor as the Editor's Choice album for December 2025. It has truly been an honor to be a part of a great recording with great colleagues! If you want a signed copy, head to my bandcamp page, there are still a few CDs remaining. 

Oropesa’s soprano has all the distinctive darkness of Callas but with the pinpoint agility of Sutherland at her peak. I’ve long thought her the most technically accomplished singer on the bel canto block, so her dazzling coloratura is entirely anticipated, but this is more than a vocal acrobatic display; it’s a complete characterisation.
