She has a Stradivarius in her throat, and plays her instrument like a virtuoso. ❤️

[@hashatz]

This is about as accurate that one can get to describe this "one of a kind" vocal artist.

[@angelpaz55]

She is THE BEST at this Time. No doubts about it.

[@fideliofidelio1222]

No DOUBT at all dear !

[@angelpaz55]

She is unbelievable. Everything She does it´s close to Divine Perfection. Mozart, Verdi, Donizetti, whatever. She is the best soprano at this time.

[@joseluizengelke5128]

Miss Oropesa! What a Voice timbre. What a sensibility in your voice! Like a CRYSTAL. Congratolations my Dear Friend! Going to the Top of Classic Opera Music!

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

This sounds so free and easy. I'll probably listen to it repeatedly.

[@laryhesdorffer2027]

Absolutely sublime. She just gets better & better!

[@leoniemikele6]

She leans into the music in a way that makes me think I've never heard it before...and cannot believe I've never heard it before....

[@contraltissima]

great singing, really great! and she has a perfect trill, like nobody today.

[@maryannedavid6983]

A favourite of mine.....she sounds so divine.....sings effortlessly....

[@pmouyren]

Reminds me of the great lucia popp! Very well done Lisette !

[@Shahrdad]

She reminds me so much of the singers of the olden days who had a mastery of fioriture, legato, and ornamentation, such as a perfect trill. And she does this effortlessly without the aspirating or gargling that passes for a florid technique nowadays.

[@ciociosan]

Shahrdad she's the Graziella Pareto of today.

[@Shahrdad]

I just listened to Pareto. Oropesa is better. Although her voice is far lighter, a lot of her singing reminds me of Callas. She has the same understanding of the shape of the music and the same fluidity in her fioriture. She sings rapid passages legato and truly shapes them into a melodic arc, and you never hear any of that aspirated and gargled singing that passes for coloratura nowadays.

[@angelpaz55]

@@Shahrdad OMG !!! You said : " a lot of her singing reminds me of Callas." ...People at Spain are calling me insane just to think the same...She is " The NEW Divine """

[@Shahrdad]

@@angelpaz55 Well not exactly. She is a wonderful singer who has learned the correct musical lessons from Callas, but Callas was unique. She was a once in a century genius who had a way of finding the soul of a character in just one phrase that no one has yet been able to match. Just the way her Lucia said "Alfin so tua" captured the obsessive madness of the girl, or she did the same on the word "Vien!" in just one syllable and one note in her duet with Macbeth. So Oropesa is not the new Callas or Divina; she's the first Oropesa, and she is wonderful.

[@jeffbarnett2348]

Everything she does is golden. What a great talent and artist!

[@vainssant]

rather diamond FL!

[@angelpaz55]

She is the New Callas.

[@barrynicolle1821]

She isa thousand times better than Callas.

[@lionelquintin2999]

une voix pure et toutes ses notes sont chantées et non criées comme parfois chez d'autres. Un raffinement musical de très haut niveau. Une plénitude chorale stupéfiante

[@dennisrice2763]

Brings tears to your eyes.

[@wordsworks7084]

This voice comes from heaven.

[@stephencostan207]

oh lisette.................i could listen to you forever..............you have brought so much pleasure into the indian summer of my life

[@rodhuss]

Es maravillosa! Y falta mucho para escuchar.

[@charliekim2939]

You sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and I will surely like it. Now, I wish I could hear you singing some Schubert and R. Strauss lieder.

[@pdill51]

A wholesome voice which ranges from the human up to the Divine tone !!!

[@dennisrice2763]

So seamless.

[@jedavilav1]

¡Formidable!

[@fernandofraga4298]

Extraordinaria.

Even though I prefer a creamier sound in this (Barbara Bonney, for instance) this is stunning.

[@brookeggleston9314]

No question, she is excellent! However, please watch Arleen Auger sing this (w/Bernstein) as well as listen to Sylvia McNair(w/Gardiner). I've yet to decide which I prefer, but watching Auger, so relaxed, as if out for a stroll in the park, has led me to believe that the soprano who tries to sing this with a tight jaw, is doomed to hellish failure!!

[@diefledermichael801]

After much comparing and careful consideration,I think the Auger and Moffo versions are both superb and ahead of a distinguished pack of 'competitors'. As for Mozart sopranos overall the young Moffo was the best I've ever heard; e.g. her Suzanna with Giulini, etc., etc.

[@lizreis1856]

Omg do u have she singing the duet Domine Deus? From this same mass

[@andreasherrle4]

A Maria Callas like singer.........but actually the opera star of the 2020 twsnties and hopefully far beyond.....
