Lucia
After her brilliant performance as Konstanze in Hans Neuenfels ' Abduction and her solo concerto, Lisette Oropesa's role debut as Lucia was eagerly awaited. A complete success. Like the Cuban-American at the beginning of “ …Ed ecco! ecco su quel margine…' startled by the gh...
Lisette Oropesa, die sich vor positiver Energie sprudelnd gleich im ersten Akt gesanglich verausgabt, was die Palette ihrer hell timbrierten Stimmpotenz nur so hergibt, beeindruckt auch im 2. und 3. Akt mit ihrem mal larmoyant klingenden, dann wieder feinperlend belcantistisch anmutenden Sopra...
Lisette Oropesa rettete hier die Komposition selbst. In der berühmten "Wahnsinnsarie" im dritten Akt hat Donizetti der Sopranistin nämlich meist nur eine Flöte (in seltenen Fällen wie hier bei den Festspielen eine Glasorgel) als Spielpartnerin an die Seite geschrieben. So k...
Lucia di Lammermoor
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...
Lisette Oropesa, making her Royal Opera debut, is a revelation as Lucia. She acts with conviction, hits the notes dead
La Lucia di Lisette Oropesa resta nella memoria come un momento sospeso nel tempo, con le sue cadenze perfette, acuti torniti, puntature cinguettate.
Lisette Oropesa enfin. Le public viennois, ou ce qui en restait après quinze minutes (chronométrées !) d’applaudissements puis de standing ovations au bord de la fosse, l'a réclamée à cor et à cri pour lui dire toute sa gratitude à ...
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...
Für die US-amerikanische Sopranistin Lisette Oropesa, ihre strahlende Stimme und ihre Verkörperung der Lucia drücken Superlative kaum aus, was sie gesanglich und mimisch mit selten gehörter Virtuosität geleistet hat.
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...
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...
Oropesa gilt als die derzeit führende Interpretin der berühmten Donizetti-Partie. Und es wird einem schnell bewusst, warum das so ist. Die Koloraturen der Partie gelingen ihr vorzüglich, die Stimme ist enorm flexibel, schlank im Ton, und baut auf einem guten technischen Fundamen...
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...
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 is Lucia, his sister. With a slender stature and southern appearance, she develops a noticeable stage presence from the very first moment and fascinates with her natural play. Her youthfully fresh soprano is absolutely confident in the high notes and skilled in coloratura, leav...
"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...
But all
Oropesa made a strong impression at Glyndebourne this year in a far more light-hearted Donizetti opera. Here, she was
Lisette Oropesa erweist sich einmal mehr als eine der führenden Interpretinnen der Lucia. Mit ihrem runden, vollen, auch zu dramatischer Attacke fähigen Sopran entspricht sie nicht unbedingt dem Klangbild «klassischer» Lucia-Interpretinnen, was sie mit ihrer enormen B&uum...
Escenificando la parte III hasta el final de la escena de la locura, pudimos disfrutar de la delicadeza de Lisette Oropesa, quien nos presentó la completa psicología y vocalidad de la famosa escena de la locura. Una escena in crescendo que Oropesa supo sobrellevar con una mezcla ...
Lisette Oropesa es maravillosa, lo controla todo y su escena de la locura del fascinante personaje de Lucia fue simplemente modélica: hubo tensión teatral y un absoluto dominio técnico y en particular de la coloratura y del ornamento, fascinando con la naturalidad de su en...
La soprano estadounidense, con antepasados cubanos y catalanes, se lució con el aria de la locura de Lucia di Lammermoor y arrancó dos largos minutos de aplausos del público, visiblemente emocionado.
Fabulosa de principio a fin. Por otro lado, Lisette Oropesa como Lucia di Lammermoor en su aria de la locura, con la cadenza clásica incluida. Ingravida, mágica, fascinante y magnética de principio a fin. Uno de esos pocos momentos en el que el mundo se para y no existe m&...
In Salzburg kommt Lisette Oropesa den Idealvorstellungen des Komponisten irritierend nahe. Ihren aparten Sopran-Charme weiß die Amerikanerin expressiv zu entfalten. Auch, aber nicht nur in hoher und höchster Lage, wo das Publikum Sängerinnen immer so gerne abheben hört. Se...
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...
La soprano cubano-estadounidense Lisette Oropesa asumió el papel en Londres en 2017 y desde entonces se ha consolidado como una de las mejores intérpretes, si no la mejor, de este papel, formidable tanto por su dificultad como por la resistencia vocal que requiere. Lisette Oropes...
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.
Il soprano americano si conferma belcantista raffinata e completa, come già nella recente Giulietta milanese, sfoggiando una voce piena ed omogenea lungo tutta l’estensione, musicalità controllata dal buon gusto che le impedisce di perdersi in bamboleggiamenti. La precision...
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.
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...
"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...
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, ...
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...
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...
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.
Man kann es kaum glauben! Aber Gaetano Donizettis Belcanto-Meisterwerk „Lucia di Lammermoor“ wurde noch nie bei den Salzburger Festspielen gegeben. Erinnerungen wurden natürlich sofort wach an die erst vor kurzem so tragisch verstorbene Edita Gruberova, wenn man die Wahnsinnsa...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
Entremig de tot això, Lisette Oropesa va oferir-nos un sorbet belcantista de luxe. La seva escena de la bogeria de la Lucia és d’aquelles que hom conserva pel record: coloratura executada a la perfecció, interpretada d’una manera exquisida, sense massa sal ni m...
Lisette Oropesa’s technique is astonishing and she was in absolute command of her beautiful silvery voice and the title role’s demanding coloratura. All her high E flats were hit dead centre and with impressive ease and the mechanics of singing was never on show and Oropesa brought...
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 ...
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 mostró la infabilidad de su técnica, su dominio del instrumento y la seguridad escénica con la que bordó una escena de la locura que se llevó la ovación de la noche, tres minutos de reloj!
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.
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...
La soprano américaine d’origine cubaine Lisette Oropesa est aujourd’hui l’une des plus remarquables interprètes de Lucia, rôle dans lequel elle a été unanimement acclam&eacu...
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 is astounding with ease and mastery in Lucia, leaving absolutely nothing to show through the difficulty of the role. Her peerless technique, her perfectly assured vocals, her luminous highs, her crystalline timbre and her evanescent halftones make her an incomparable Lucia toda...
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.
Lisette Oropesa’s soprano, strong but silky, featured splendid silvery super-high notes, great coloratura and heart-melting filati, for an electrifying interpretation of Lucia. Her natural, spontaneous acting helped enliven a somewhat bratty teenager, overwhelmed by the emotional blackma...
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...
In occasione di questa prima ripresa il ruolo del titolo è stato affidato a Lisette Oropesa (inizialmente prevista anche lo scorso anno ma sostituita da Irina Lungu poco prima del debutto) che così ha potuto finalmente debuttare a Zurigo e farlo con uno dei suoi cavalli di battag...
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...
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...
Für Lisette Oropesas strahlenden Sopran und ihre Verkörperung der Lucia drücken Superlative kaum aus, was sie gesanglich und mimisch mit selten gehörter Virtuosität geleistet hat, denn sie schlüpfte voll und ganz in diese Rolle.
Ihr Solopart ist gespickt m...
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...
