Lisette Oropesa sings "Caro Nome" (Rigoletto), Verdi

[@luismunozcobo313]

With sopranos like Lisette the Opera will never die

[@mirjamdevries9376]

Che TRILLI! Infiniti e perfetti, intercalati con i piani e pianissimi! Gorgheggia come un usignolo! Fiato, agilità allo stato puro. 🌷💯🦋🎵

[@brendanquinn9354]

The more I listen to Lisette the more I realise we are blessed with a voice that comes along once in a lifetime.

[@annafarysej3256]

This aria is much more difficult than anyone could thought. Congratulations to Lisette Oropesa for her amazing work and talent. Brilliant performance!

[@ubiestinsula]

I honestly didn’t think singing could be this great after Sutherland, Callas and Caballe. Lisette brings back those glorious days in her performance.

[@tonirose6776]

Caballe! Lucia Popp! Callas!

[@judyjones2475]

So agree I was despairing to ever find another Caballe she is very near xx

[@johnfryer3051]

I fail to see why so many think that the singers of yesteryear were so much better than today's. I am sure they are just as good to listen to. Lisette is only one of many examples.

[@brendanquinn9354]

Agreed best in decades she is the Callas of our generation.

[@magicflute3]

as far as i know, she is the only contemporary singer who has voice, technique, good look, and...( and this is VERY rare today) CHARISMA.- this one really makes the difference

[@ahogbin2644]

Indeed - lovely to hear a modern singer who can actually trill. Voice most attractive.

[@johnfryer3051]

So many well-deserved compliments. She is a top-class singer, with such breath control!

[@jjh2456]

Ahh so beautiful a voice. She is one of the modern sopranos that has a voice for the ages.

[@ciociosan]

She has a Stradivarius in her throat. Bravissima!

[@publicclammer]

This young woman is fearless in pursuit of the vocal art! I adore her!

[@fideliofidelio1222]

Vocal art indeed !!! Very rare nowadays !!!

[@viba1657]

Очень красивый голос!Столько красок , оттенков , полетный , лёгкий голос!Техника великолепная! Спасибо !Браво!❤

[@aoifegibzz]

This is one of the most perfect things I've ever heard.

[@SteveL2012]

What gorgeous vocal color in a lighter-voiced repertoire. High notes like a fine violin.

[@Homoclassicus]

Wow, real trills in a really natural and seamless voice! This is really rare nowadays! Brava

[@highbaritone]

Homoclassicus I have always thought a great trill has always been rare. The great ones were natural and improved upon. However now most singers don’t even try and achieve one and some of the attempts are just that, an attempt. This is indeed a trill. One I haven’t heard since Sutherland retired. Those are just my thoughts on what I’ve been listening to over the years.

[@m.j9404]

Velvet and iron at the same time.....That is what comes to my mind when I hear this beautiful voice !

[@magicmonkichi]

Agreed! had the same thought...the voice of a fine cloth polishing a piece of metal!

[@madame_milky]

i like that analogy!

[@cinziavidali411]

Lisette Oropesa canta come un usignolo ed è anche una persona assolutamente amabile.

[@chiclanolecter]

The most Beautiful caro nome from a living Soprano💕😍❤️

[@scaridaghostly]

I am so glad that Opera is not dead, an that I am amongst those who appreciate it.

[@maxcornise-qh2jk]

Just ravishing singing! Though on the light side, her astonishing timbre can shade the melody from dark claret to brilliant gold! Have not heard this perfect a technique since Kathleen Battle!

[@marapaltrinieri5667]

Che bella voce, timbro, lavoro, sensibilità musicale, tutta una delizia

[@magicflute3]

and she can do everything- spectacular messa di voce, filati, trills on any note

[@andrzejsroczynski5261]

Since I learned about Lisette, this is my favorite soprano

[@garybrowne608]

I second that emotion!

[@mariateresaparentegalambad1171]

Um verdadeiro colibri!.. Un vrai colibri! A REAL colibri!..

[@Lechatnoir3]

THOSE TRILLS ARE LIFE!!! Bravoooo Lisette!!

[@rogelioquintana7927]

Bravissima! Grande! Conmovedora, siempre encarna sus personajes con profundidad y matices exquisitos. Una voz privilegiada, una trabajadora que respeta al público como nadie. Es un milagro encontrar tanta fuerza en un cuerpo tan delicado.

[@kastrafior1487]

Ces grilles... ces trilles... mon Dieu, ces trilles ! Quelle ligne de chant ! Quel bonheur ! Quelle merveilleuse, quelle magnifique, quelle généreuse et somptueuse interprétation ! R e s p e c t !!! ★

[@luigisansonetti50]

Lisette Oropesa...es una poesía..la escuche´este verano en Pesaro...drejó encantado al pubblico en el teatro Rossini...como ven...no solo Verdi....pero tambien Donizetti.....Bellini....una maravilla. Los mejores éxitos para esta m maravillosa Soprano

[@flyinghow]

There's hope on the horizon! After listening to years of mediocre new singers, finally a real voice! Brava!!!

[@brendanquinn9354]

Greatest I have heard in 50 years of opera going.

[@ggrobbins9353]

her voice is getting even warmer and bigger!!!

[@caroledwards3289]

Her voice is so beautiful.

[@Eglezrguez]

Es la soprano del momento!. Buena presencia, técnica y vocalizacion perfecta.

[@ThrivingJean]

OMG those trills... Like Patti, Melba or Tetrazzini! Brava!!!

[@Ellatigojusticiero]

What a voice my God!!!!!!

[@joaoaurelio1534]

Reminded me of Lucia Popp. Great rendition, put me on the edge of my seat few times. How many times have i hear Caro nome..

[@michelelagrotta8825]

Lisette Oroprsa una cantante litica dai mezzi vocali eccezionali timbro bellissimo impostazione naturale note centrali ed scuti ben modulati anche in falsetto Michel Lagrotta.

[@tonirose6776]

Just referred Popp in m comments above. Gorgeous, both of them.

[@theosah2428]

me too reminded me of lucia popp

[@lungdoc]

Those trills!!!!

[@guillermocotsbluma433]

Preciosa interpretacion ,magnifica una voz increible bravo

[@JacquesOeslick]

Peut-être la plus belle version de Caro Nome avec celle de Anna Moffo... Lisette a tout : une technique sans reproches, un style remarquable, une voix reconnaissable entre mille, des pianissimi enchanteurs et beaucoup d'émotion. Je ne m'en lasse pas 😙😙😙

[@necessarydiva]

That trill at the end was sick!

[@michelcasavant4345]

Absolutely wonderful. Really looking forward to her Lucia at the ROH this fall.

[@joaocampelo3725]

This is SO MAGNIFICENT

[@Hako2004]

No one I am aware of, except Sutherland, could make such a natural, and sustained, trill at the end of this aria...until now. That alone got my full attention. A very gifted singer in a world where they are growing increasingly rare. I have only discovered her, and I wonder...does she have the high staccati?

[@j.j.schlachtfeld9325]

She does have the high staccati. They aren't as easy as Sutherland's perhaps, but there are a couple of renditions where you can indeed hear her sing them. She has a high Eb (as the cadenza in this rendition confirms) , but I'd dare say that she feels most comfortable up to a high D.

[@ketevanchuntishvili3337]

Perfection

[@stephenmead89]

MAGNIFICENT!

[@johnsummers9790]

The only soprano I have heard sing the top C at the end of Act One in 'La traviata' performances at Covent Garden.

[@HiDay-Songbird]

Just stunning!

[@helenebergell5993]

Beautiful!!

[@modestofontanez3343]

Yes!!! That is THE WAY “Caro Nome” is supposed to be sung!! Oropressa is officially in the pantheon of the greats! She is “La Superlativa”!

[@juliogonzalezdbt7233]

[@RodolfoLimacbx]

*6:53** | OH MY GOOD!* Finally after Sutherland we have another human’s perfect triller! Brava!

[@psalmtone2008]

And diction to boot! :)

[@brendanquinn9354]

its unbelievable how tickets remain available for more than five minutes everytime she sings she is simply the greatest voice in decades.

[@ciociosan]

I just died.

[@leonardogiacobbe5422]

Sublime!!

[@ternitamas]

Reminds me a lot of Callas, I mean that as a compliment, she takes risks, pushing limits. Amazing performance

[@fido652]

Glad you mean it as a compliment!!

[@joaocampelo3725]

I thought I would never hear a trill as good as Sutherland’s

[@Ronizetti]

and you won't! 😁

[@renzo6490]

PLUS.... she is articulate in Italian !

[@chiclanolecter]

Its even BETTER

[@MR-ot2nh]

Sutherland's trill? No. This is trill! There was no trill technique like this since Maria Callas.

[@evamarian.2060]

brava!!

[@ian.marais1202]

Perfect.

[@marylambcarter]

AMAZING TRUE SOPRANO VOICE ! BRAVISSIMA

[@juanmiguez7127]

BRAVA outstanding!!

[@dancaes813]

Belcanto!!!!!! Sublime!!!!

[@ESilva-gw9ig]

Although far from being my favorite singer, I have to recognize that this is a good rendition of this aria. Her lyric voice fits this music like a glove. The trills are there, beautifully done, but the stacatti are missing. As one commenter said, she should resist the temptation to sing heavier roles in order to keep her voice as healthy as possible.

[@j.j.schlachtfeld9325]

She does have the staccati. They do not come as easy to her as to other singers, but there are a couple of videos on KZbin where she sings them. I think this one was rather a stylistic choice, in order to keep the fluidity of the aria going, aided of course by her show-stopping trills.

[@edmask7365]

Un Milagro !

[@jefolson6989]

Well above the usual standard of today's singers. I hope she resists the siren call of heavier roles.

[@pedror.m.chavesneto6265]

Brava !

[@alvisedoge4426]

Magnifica.

[@necessarydiva]

HOLY SHIT!!!!

[@Bzcenci812]

This voice and interpretation deserve a beautiful setting. It is not the case. Do the singers like this kind of thing or they accept it because there is no alternative?

[@tunutto]

Interpretación sublime

[@robert111k]

Grande.

[@mariateresaparentegalambad1171]

[@ms.chaewon9231]

Seldom we hear sopranos who really apply the bel canto technique. The rest of them are just show off.

[@beatifulshadow]

Hello, it's everything very interesting but I just don't understand it very well. What is the difference between her and other sopranos. I believe there is difference because of course I hear she sings rarely beautiful but I don't understand why is it so. You people seem to know what you're talking about and I always feel lost because I cannot really tell what's the difference. I probably didn't say it very well but I 'd be very pleased if you would explain to me what are the differences. :)

[@kirabraunsoprano]

Zuzana Holičová I think it is her tone quality and also that of her vibrato - her spin is gorgeous!! It is not an overdone vibrato which we hear too much of these days. And also yes, her trills are executed perfectly. The other thing is the way she colours her sound - it’s pure and she can make it dark or light...and OHHH those pianissimi!!

[@pugh.joseph]

@@beatifulshadow She sings with emotion, but she doesn't contort or distort her voice in any way. It is her voice. She doesn't sing too light or too dark and she has a lot of breath support so she doesn't sing from her throat. For example, Anna Netrebko used to have a really beautiful voice but sung too dark repertoire and her voice dipped and it is now less capable. On the other hand, Oropesa seems to only go for light roles and seems to be in complete control of her voice.

[@ramonvargas1]

@@beatifulshadow justo listen others Many times and you will find the difference
