Sublime, tout simplement aérien aux plus parfaits envols d'irréprochable justesse: incarnation du personnage par l'élocution bouleversante de ces voyelles appuyées d'émouvante expressivité, appui sur chaque mot ou syllabe crucial(e), en somme une maîtrise vocale parfaite (telle Dessay avec un je ne sais quoi de plus-peut-être un timbre de profonde torturée par l'amour fou).
She's heads and shoulders better than anyone who's singing the lyric-coloratura repertoire at the Met. She's a throwback to the Golden Age of singing. She has a perfect mastery of the architecture of this music. She understands portamento perfectly, and she understands the give and take of rubato. She sings coloratura passages effortlessly and legato, without resorting to the aspiration and gargling that is the current fashion. She also has the most perfect trill of any modern-day singer. The more I listen to her, the more I love her.
A lot of singer work just as hard without achieving a tenth of what Lisette does. I think she has that extra something that very few singers are blessed with, something that allows them to see the architecture of the music and almost see it from an aerial point of view. You never have a sense of notes or difficult passages, but hear the aria as a seamless entity. Even the slowest passages have a forward momentum, and they are able to almost stop time in slow cantilena music. Lisette's phrasing and musical understanding reminds me most of Callas, even though the voice is so completely different.
In her Question and Answer Sessions posted to TH-cam, she has explained how she studies the story lines, characters, plot twists in great detail BEFORE she begins work on the role's music. This must be part of her magic, at delivering pure art that transcends the technique she's mastered.
I'm too old to go constructing a new pedestal--my Callas and Sills pedestals are decades old. But I now must accept the respect the presence of a new great one. I am in awe and in love.
Conte D' AlmaMelone why compare. I know it’s a human trait and I try very hard not to. Every great singers is incomparable. They are for me simply great and different. So here is someone who falls into to that category. I’m so happy that someone has come along who does. It good for our mental health. I have heard many of the greats too. That are all great for unique reasons. They all touch a lot to our core which is we’re the arguments come in on who was or is greater. If someone sells out houses and sells millions of recordings there is nothing anyone who doesn’t like them can do to change that. Alright, I’ve said enough. Sometimes I just get tired of the “compare” thing.
This is really great, possibly one of the best renditions I've seen one of this much recorded scene! The voice is not only very beautiful, it's used with the most seamless and effortless technique, and everything is sung as it should, with no serious flaws or half-baked improvisations. This really deserves being called Golden Age singing.
After all the years of "star" sopranos who can't get through a score without cheating or mangling the music, a REAL singer who is a throwback to the Bel Canto era!! Absolutely spectacular.....and the trills❤️❤️❤️
Fabuleux! Quelle maitrise, quel controle, et quelle émotion....quel bonheur de retrouver enfin une vraie artiste!!! À part Callas, cet air n'a jamais été aussi beau et interessant. Une étoile est née
Fabuleux, oui. Une ligne de chant terriblement inspirée. Callas, oui. Natalie Dessay, oui. Et maintenant Sabine Devielhe. Toutes ces dames ont chacune des qualités vocales et interprétatives phénoménales. Mais, svp, ne comparons pas. Juste se laisser aller à ces interprétations miraculeuses et ... phénoménales.
Oui totalement d'accord avec vous ..., à part Callas ( le live en récital de Milan 1956 ).Et seulement ces deux là pour cet air de la folie! Ni Sutherland ,encore moins Dessay .
Just saw her in that part at Bastille opera house last week (March 2023). She was fabulous and so was her partner Ludovic Tézier as Hamlet. A memorable moment. ❤❤❤
Mme Oropesa est le chant incarné des rêves d'aficionados:as les plus enfouis. Elle chante comme une planète sur orbite, tranquille, légère et miraculeusement magnifique. Humains, priez !
I love her higher notes, the approach to them is thrilling, with a wonderful vibrato. I won't compare her to my favourite sopranos. She has joined their ranks! Brava Lisette xx
When you fall in love with a great voice for the first time. I feel the same way about Oropesa as I did when I first heard Sills live late in 1969 or Pavarotti a few years later at his first Carnegie Hall recital. There have been many more singers since those first few years of opera love. I felt the same way about Oropesa the first time I heard her as Nanetta in FALSTAFF. Since then it has been steady admiration and fascination as this wonderful soprano has show her wide variety of roles and musical styles. There's not much that I can add to what's been said here. Except her sense of any musical structure is faultless and original. She shapes phrases into the most musical statements. I can't wait to her what she'll do next. Fortunately, the rest of the world is catching up. Brava, Lisette.
She is simply the best voice at this time. She is almost Perfect ! And, in fact, She is able to made us travel to the Classic Age of Belcanto , probably that was how Opera sounds at XIX century...BRAVA LISETTE Y GRACIAS !!!
Degna erede della Sutherland e della Dessay. Voce bellissima. Tecnica superlativa e interpretazione magnifica. Oropesa Superstar. Ascoltare questa voce mi riempie di gioia
Magnifique !! Vocalement exemplaire , et pour l'interprétation aussi .Mieux que Dessay ( qui intellectualise beaucoup trop comme toujours , là où il n'y a pas lieu .)Mieux que Devielle dont la voix est insipide .Je reste cependant toujours très attaché à la version de Callas un jour de 1956 à Milan en live : fabuleuse version très engagée ,très franche dans les attaques ,et avec la meilleure version de la romance " pâle et blonde dort sous l'eau profonde la Willis au regard de feu ..." Car c'est la seule à savoir restituer ce mystère et créer une atmosphère surnaturelle et hantée de cette page musicale .
This version is beautiful especially since it’s being sung by a real coloratura soprano. Nowadays lyric and dramatic sopranos are singing just about everything regardless of fach and it shows.
Coloratura is a cross-cutting label for any voice that is flexible enough to perform agility passages, from the acutest soprano to the deepest bass. True is that singers with lighter voices are more likely to become coloratura singers, so coloratura basses are one in a million and coloratura soprani are more common, particularly for light and light-lyric soprani. The most valuable asset for Lisette is that she keeps her voice agile for coloratura roles, but over time, her middle and low notes are more developed, so her voice carries longer and stronger. She may never develop to sing verismo roles and romantic heavier heroines, but so far she can increase her repertoire with new roles that are fit for her almost every year and be a success at them.

I agree with every word.
You forgot to mention her impeccable intonation and her incredible phrase length! For the rest I agree. She is the non plus ultra....
Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Trust me, my friend. I've seen ALL sopranos of our times, and nobody can be compared with HER
Conte D' AlmaMelone not even Renée Fleming?

Superlative. The voice has a pathos and gravitas combined with spot on articulation, acuti, trills---a beautifully moving rendition. Brava, Lisette!
Thank you so much!!!
No words can describe her artistry!
Congratulations, Ms Oropesa!
Just saw her in that part at Bastille opera house last week (March 2023). She was fabulous and so was her partner Ludovic Tézier as Hamlet. A memorable moment. ❤❤❤

Both, Lisette and Natalie are the best singing this Aria.....Love it
wonderful wonderfull! thank you Lisette Oropesa for letting me hear again great singing in our days! this last high note !!!!!!!!!! is to die for!
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. So sublime, and Lisettes interpretation is marvelous. What an artist
This makes me cry. Lisette Oropesa sounds great. I feel for Ophelie.
When you fall in love with a great voice for the first time. I feel the same way about Oropesa as I did when I first heard Sills live late in 1969 or Pavarotti a few years later at his first Carnegie Hall recital.

Oh my god !! haven't hear you sing in a while and your voice has become deeper and so harmonically rich it's divine
A great Ophélie, fragile and sensitive, deep musical feeling, wonderful Fairytale singing!
Just saw her twice at the Royal Opera House in London singing Lucia and she was absolutely stunning.
whats the voice like live? does it float or pierce through ?
Stunningly beautiful. The first soprano since Sutherland (her version on the "Art of the Prima Donna" will never be surpassed) to satisfy me ear.
Fabulous Lisette.
Una virtuosa con alma y emoción en el canto. Por fin alguien que emociona!! BRAVA!!!
She is simply the best voice at this time. She is almost Perfect ! And, in fact, She is able to made us travel to the Classic Age of Belcanto , probably that was how Opera sounds at XIX century...BRAVA LISETTE Y GRACIAS !!!
This is absolute perfection. I can’t find one single flaw here. Stunning!!!!
Régis Mengus è bellissimo.
Degna erede della Sutherland e della Dessay. Voce bellissima. Tecnica superlativa e interpretazione magnifica. Oropesa Superstar. Ascoltare questa voce mi riempie di gioia
Avete ragione.
OUTSTANDING, REMARKABLE... BRAAAAVAAAA!!! LISETTE BRAAAAVAAAA!!!
There's something so magical and great in her voice. I love it!
Magnifico !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sublime parfait magnifique exceptionnel je suis fan
Lisette Oropesa, Sabine Devieilhe, and Natalie Dessay are, for me, the best for this aria.
Non pour moi : pas Devielle et pas Dessay .Callas oui ( récital de Milan live de 1956 ) .
@@eberlinpascal2837 Callas avait la voix bien trop lourde et des accroches trop agressive pour ce rôle.
HER TECHNIQUE APPEARS TO BE PURE MARCHESI
Spectacular!
I agree, great French also, almost a la Callas.
Bravissima!
wow.....
Magnifique !! Vocalement exemplaire , et pour l'interprétation aussi .Mieux que Dessay ( qui intellectualise beaucoup trop comme toujours , là où il n'y a pas lieu .)Mieux que Devielle dont la voix est insipide .Je reste cependant toujours très attaché à la version de Callas un jour de 1956 à Milan en live : fabuleuse version très engagée ,très franche dans les attaques ,et avec la meilleure version de la romance " pâle et blonde dort sous l'eau profonde la Willis au regard de feu ..." Car c'est la seule à savoir restituer ce mystère et créer une atmosphère surnaturelle et hantée de cette page musicale .
Splendide, inspirée par Desay manifestement, et avec raison! Bravo Lisette!
PRRFEITAAAA! Sem defeitos

Hello, Massenet, would you happen to have the complete broadcast of the whole opera ? Thanks in advance.
Dieu du Ciel ! Et ces trilles ........
BRAVA
she truly sounds like a bird with her piano trills
