I'm missing so many roles!! I sang the Rheinmaiden, the Woodbird, Miranda in Enchanted Island...I think there's 15 total! I couldn't remember them all!! haha
When in doubt, check the met opera archives! :-P The number is indeed 15 if you count Woglinde in Das Rheingold and Götterdämmerung as just one: - The Enchanted Island: Miranda - Falstaff: Nannetta - Götterdämmerung: Woglinde - Hänsel und Gretel: Dew Fairy - Hänsel und Gretel: Gretel - Idomeneo: Woman - Iphigénie en Tauride: First Priestess - Manon Lescaut: Madrigalist - Le Nozze di Figaro: Susanna - Orfeo ed Euridice: Amore - Das Rheingold: Woglinde - Rigoletto: Gilda - La Rondine: Lisette - Siegfried: Forest Bird - Suor Angelica: Lay Sister - Werther: Sophie Absolutely love the interview by the way, can't wait for the second part!
So true about the instrumental training, which is particularly helpful for a coloratura soprano (I'm also a clarinetist), and it really shows in your singing!
And you have come such a long way since your Met roles, singing now so many leading roles in all the major houses of the world ! I love your Meyerbeers (hope you'll get to sing Robert le Diable on stage), and maybe one day Massenet's Esclarmonde ??? I was REALLY looking forward to hearing you in the Bastille Hamlet, forgetting that you were not cast for the last performance ! 😪 But I'll always remember the wonderful evenings you gave us at Garnier singing Konstanze. I was a stage crew on that show, and was very impressed !!! All the best, Lisette, for a marvellous career !!!
What a lovely relationship you had with your mom, Lisette! You echoed what I have always said of my mom -- my strictest critic. I do get a bit nervous, too, when she watches me in concert.
Tu voz es la mejor flauta que existe. Sólo soy una aficionada tocando flauta, pero siempre que te escucho lo pienso. Eres mi cantante favorita, y me gusta tocar pensando que soy tu cantando 😂
Che bella intervista! Ma certo Io mi ricordo Il tuo tempo a LSU. Specialmente il tuo ruolo come Rosina e Susana dove Mia figlia Kelli cantava il ruolo di Cherubino. Che talento hai! Il Signore ti benedica! Ti ricordi Dr Fulton Direttore corale? E ti ricordi professore Robert Grayson, Senz'altro!!
This woman plays a league of herself in every aspect. I think it's the first time in my life I'd like to be heterosexual, for a moment at least, in order to be able to appreciate her more deeply and accurately. I don't trust she will reach the place in opera she deserves (JS is still generally considered in 2019 a great singer, wich clearly indicates that something doesn't work properly in that world) but she is big. Trully big. Oropesa has it all.
