"Lisette Oropesa (born September 29, 1983) is an American operatic soprano of Cuban ancestry.[1] Her repertoire includes works from Gluck, Handel, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Wagner, Verdi, Bizet, Massenet and Puccini. With her lyric coloratura soprano voice,[2] she has performed roles in her native Spanish and English, as well as German, French and Italian. She is particularly noted in the roles of Susanna, Gilda, Konstanze, Lucia and Manon.
Oropesa is a vegan, and runner/marathoner who has been featured in Runner's World Magazine.[3] In 2014, she co-contributed to Running, Eating, Thinking: A Vegan Anthology[4] by Martin Rowe, where she talked about her weight loss journey and how she now follows a plant-based diet.
In 2015, she was a contributor to Master Singers: Advice from the Stage which includes interviews with opera singers about "analysis and awareness of their technique, art, interpretation and stagecraft".[5]
Early life and education
Oropesa was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her parents emigrated from Cuba.[2]
She originally studied to be a flautist before her mother, a music teacher and former operatic soprano,[2] suggested she audition for the voice faculty at the Louisiana State University School of Music.[6] She joined the voice program under the guidance of Robert Grayson[7] who was the chair of the Voice/Opera at the LSU School of Music.[8]
Personal life
In 2008, Oropesa reconnected with her high school boyfriend Steven Harris on Facebook. In October 2012, they married in Tucson, Arizona, during performances of Lucia di Lammermoor at the Arizona Opera.[148] In 2019, she acquired Spanish citizenship.[149]"; Wikipedia (edited)
