Lucia
La locura de la protagonista, interpretada por la soprano estadounidense de ascendencia cubana Lisette Oropesa, se ha trasladado al público del coliseo madrileño, que ha roto en aplausos y en gritos de \"brava\" en el culmen de su enajenación.
Lisette Oropesa è un soprano di grande valore, che purtroppo canta assai raramente nei teatri italiani (fu Gilda all’Opera di Roma nel dicembre 2016; debutterà al Rossini Opera Festival di Pesaro in Adina il mese prossimo); al Real di Madrid esordì in Rigoletto nel d...
Her voice strengthened act by act, but Oropesa had no problem with the singing even from the start, showing an easy trill and confidence through the part's range.
Lucia di Lammermoor
As Lucia in this handsome and intelligent production, the birdlike American-Cuban soprano Lisette Oropesa, bubbly and light-hearted in Glyndebourne Festival Opera's Don Pasquale this summer, now conveys both aching fragility and determination, powering up to those famous high notes with the ac...
Qué mejor que empezar por la gran triunfadora de la noche, la soprano Lisette Oropesa, espléndida cantante y actriz que configuró un rol difícilmente superable hoy en día. Con una voz de lírico-ligera que, ahora mismo, se adapta como un guante a la tes...
The thrilling new Cuban-American soprano Lisette Oropesa is a decided plus on last year.
Her Lucia is young and fragile but defiant, while the famous mad scene is superlatively played.
Her pure crystal voice soars to the heights.
Outstanding debut aside, it was Lisette Oropesa who brought the house down with her candidness on stage and her total match with the production’s concept. Her dramatic triumph wasn’t so unqualified at the vocal level. Her technique is canonic, allowing a total command of her beauti...
Lisette Oropesa y Javier Camarena encarnan a una pareja protagonista absolutamente creíble en lo físico y extraordinariamente bien avenida en lo musical. Ella, ovacionada en pie al final por buena parte del público, es una cantante completísima y, sobre todo, ...
Best of all, however, was the performance of Cuban-American soprano Lisette Oropesa in the title role which was simply sensational.
In fact, it is one of the best performances I have ever seen at Covent Garden. Her crisp, clear voice added to true dramatic acting ability make her perfe...
The cast is outstanding, especially the Lucia of Cuban-American soprano Lisette Oropesa. A consummate actor with a fresh, pearly sound and exquisite top notes, Oropesa creates a flesh-and-blood character out of Donizetti’s sketchy heroine. Her mad scene is beautifully judged, full of nua...
Lisette Oropesa es una de esas cosas excepcionales que aparecen, en plan Cometa Halley, cada x años: está revolucionando al público del Real, que la vitorea, en pie, noche tras noche (y mira que la audiencia real es dura de roer). La conjunción de la voz de esta muj...
La première del viernes contó con la intervención vocal, en los papeles protagonistas, de la soprano de origen cubano Lisette Oropesa y del tenor mexicano Javier Camarena. Ambos encarnan roles de extrema dificultad y extensión: una auténtica maratón vo...
This revival has a new Lucia, and how! Lisette Oropesa was making her debut in the House. Hers is not the ample agile voice of a Sutherland, not the bright glassy dazzle of Gruberová, but is an instrument full of interesting dark colours and technical mastery put at the service of commu...
Lisette Oropesa makes an exciting house debut. It’s not the largest voice, but the Cuban-American makes every phrase felt and sings with piercing vulnerability, whether in fragile trills or heart-searing high notes. Her “mad scene” is so sincerely done that it feels wrong to ...
"Espectacular", "qué gusto oír voces así", "brava" o "perfecta" son expresiones que esta noche el publico del Teatro Real ha regalado a la soprano estadounidense Lisette Oropesa, que ha protagonizado "Lucia di Lammermoor", la ópera de Donizetti, cuyas pa...
El público del Teatro Real se ha rendido a los pies de la soprano estadounidense Lisette Oropesa, que entrega una Lucia emocionante, tanto en lo musical como en lo teatral, hasta unos niveles incalculables.
Having rescued Glyndebourne's Don Pasquale from mediocrity this summer, the Cuban-American soprano now elevates another Donizetti opera to the heights. Oropesa's subtle vibrato, fast, light and allied to a silvery-bright timbre, was a constant delight, and her account of the mad scene (accompa...
Oropesa cosechó, tanto tras la célebre escena de la locura (cuando se pasa 15 minutos cantando tras asesinar a su marido en la noche de bodas) como en los saludos finales una enorme ovación, bastante poco propia de los estrenos del Teatro Real, a menudo contenidos en entus...
To match such a revelation in storytelling and character there is Lisette Oropesa who is a revelation by herself. Prior to, and after seeing this production I listened to Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland’s performances and I can genuinely tell you, as someone who has now seen Oropesa in ...
The Cuban-American soprano Lisette Oropesa, making her Royal Opera debut, starts strongly and just continues to get stronger, inhabiting the part both in her actions and in her voice. No surprise she has taken on Gilda (Dutch National Opera), Violetta (Opera Philadelphia) and Marie (Donizetti&...
Oropesa’s glinting soprano is fairly light but it grew warmly and expansively as Lucia’s distress deepened, and the crystalline precision and limpidness which I had admired at Glyndebourne this summer were again in notable evidence. As the sometimes cruel Norina in Mariame Cl&eacut...
La soprano Lisette Oropesa construye una impecable e intensa Lucia en una interpretación
El espeluznante delirio asesino de la protagonista y el resultado de combinar la maravillosa interpretación de Oropesa – vestido blanco ensangrentado, mirada perdida en la felic...
But all
El reparto vocal estaba encabezado por la soprano cubano americana Lisette Oropesa. Oropesa se adaptó con maña a la propuesta escénica y su Lucia trasmitió la determinación feminista que la dirección escénica pedía. No obstante, lo m&aacu...
Lisette Oropesa sang her Royal Opera House debut as a was tender, sincere Lucia. Her voice was easiest in the top and she navigated the role with ease. ... There was nothing but bravery from Oropesa as she navigated the emotional turmoil of the second half of the opera.
Oropesa made a strong impression at Glyndebourne this year in a far more light-hearted Donizetti opera. Here, she was
Afirmar que Oropesa estuvo a la altura de tan exigidísimo personaje, vocal y expresivamente, es quedarse corto. No solo se paseó sin el más mínimo desfallecimiento y con sorprendente facilidad por toda la onerosa tesitura, creó además una Lucia f...
"You could exhaust the dictionary looking for the perfect words to describe coloratura soprano Lisette Oropesa’s performance at Tucson Music Hall Saturday night. “Arresting.” “Stunning.” “Magnificent.” “Sublime.” Ext...
The real star, though, was the young Cuban-American soprano Lisette Oropesa, who is making her Royal Opera debut. Not just for her singing, which probably won’t be bettered in Britain this year, but for her acting. Even when she wasn’t singing, I found it impossible to take my eyes...
Matching him in all respects was the Lucia of Lisette Oropesa. She excelled in all aspects of the role (the rigours of which were made more severe in this production by the fact that she is onstage for practically the entire duration), acting affectingly throughout, dispatching the ornamentati...
Lucia is sung by Lisette Oropesa, here making her house debut. Her voice isn’t large, but she is a true coloratura soprano. She has excellent support for the long fioratura lines, and ideal agility for the runs and ornaments. Her Mad Scene (flutes here, no glass harmonica) is more about ...
Lisette Oropesa whose performance is simply magnificent. The role is famously demanding. Forced into a marriage against her will to save the family fortune, for Lucia the second half of the opera runs through murder, miscarriage and madness. Oropesa is not only a thrilling singer, she is a tho...
Lisette Oropesa, making her Royal Opera debut, is a revelation as Lucia. She acts with conviction, hits the notes dead
Lisette Oropesa dazzles in the title role as her soprano is powerful enough to pierce our very hearts, yet never feels extravagant or overblown. It is paradoxical that her lines in ‘Il dolce suono’(from the famous ‘mad scene’) seem almost as if they could evaporate into...
