By far the greatest coloratura of this generation. A true artist, technician who understands and respects the tradition of Bel Canto. Just and all-round astounding artist and wonderful person
I fell in love with this aria after getting my copy of "Art of the Prima Donna"... certainly a smaller voice than joan's, but she sings this so damn well... her lyric coloratura harkens back to the golden age... love your singing, Lisette!
I remember listening to the Met finals the year she sang. It was some of the most beautiful singing I had ever heard. I then listen to this with the effortless, seamless vocal line, and stamina (echoing Verighar re: the phrase at 5:42) and hope she has the biggest career ever so I can listen to everything she ever records. I do so hope to hear her live.
I am obsessed with Lisette. It’s almost like you’re listening to one of the greats from the golden era. This is a great example of bel canto singing. I have to hear her live!
Amazing. As Usual. I became a follower. She is , by far, the best Soprano of our Times. Just listen : inmediately the old recordings for the greatests ( Callas , Sutherland, Caballé ,Schwarzkopf, Sills , etc, etc...) cames to our ears...Grande Lisette, Brava !!
She's about the only singer singing in public now who has a true trill, easy, dependable, endless, and perfect. Just about everyone else fakes their way through.
Oropesa impresses once again with exquisite singing. Impeccable ornamentation. Fantastic color and breath control. It's a little smoky and I love that. Long may she sing. Hopefully the Metropolitan takes note and puts her on stage in a prominent role in the future.
Thanks for mentioning the "little smoky," that must be the quality I love, that makes Sopranos SO Pleasant to listen to. BTW-- THE TRILLS!! Check out her trills at the end of "Caro Nome" from the MET's wonderful "Rat Pack Rigoletto," set in 1950 Las Vegas, with Tenor Piotr Beczala. It's on TH-cam. Lovin' me some Soprano Lisette Oropesa!!
@Robert Lee, Countertenor I´m a redempted fan of both sopranos. Damrau was the BEST lighting coloratura´s soprano of XXI century. But now, Lisette came, and She broke all the rules. "La Sublime" Oropesa is simply amazing. Many people agreed wth me that She is the New "Divine" . End of the History
What a delight to listen to this Aria not in the usual heady coloratura soprano of today. She has the right mix of chest in her middle voice which is rare nowadays. Brava!
Niesamowita,jak zwykle. Kocham jej delikatny sopran.Jest zdecydowanie najlepszą sopranistką naszych czasów. Po prostu posłuchaj: od razu docierają do naszych uszu stare nagrania największych (Callas, Sutherland, Caballé, Schwarzkopf, Sills, itp.) ... Grande Lisette, Brava !!
One thing about Oropesa, even though she's a lyric coloratura, she still has weight to her voice that many don't. Which fortunately keeps her from being considered a "tweety bird". She has much more substance.
Art Danks She reminds me of Anna Moffo in that regard. Like Anna, the little bit of extra weight to her lyric coloratura allows her to sing a more varied repertoire.
Definitely only a superbly trained and wonderfully talented singer can bring this aria off with such effect . I also loved Eleanor Steber and Joan Sutherland . Not too many notes for any of these magnificent singers .

She certainly seems on her way now!

This is really great operatic singing by even the highest standards! She's fantastic in these "juicier" lyric coloratura roles.
Homoclassicus she reminds me of Anna Moffo in that regard.
She is BRAVA in EVERYTHING she does.
She is PERFECT in everything She does.
Es una bruja. No puede ser humana! Y encima de su grandeza como artista es una persona tan agradable!

I'm in tears. Absolute perfection of voice meets absolute perfection of music. Absolute musical perfection.
Can't get enough of Lisette... Great singer...
Une très jolie voix que l'on a mis dans l'écrin d'une superbe mise en scène et quels costumes et décors ! Bravo !
Wow, I can't believe she sang that phrase at 5:42 in one breath!
Absolutely amazing! I was breathless!
WOW that trill at 6:47 is GOALS

@Robert Lee, Countertenor Oropesa kills Damrau in everything! A WAY better singer! 😀

Sono tornato per ascoltare di nuovo quest'aria. Un miracolo. È la migliore versione che abbia mai sentito.
Flawless, spectacular Singing. ❤️❤️❤️
She achieves perfection without sounding mechanical. Mozart would be pleased. Very pleased.
Just listened to this again. All I can say is...BRAVA!!!
Un très beau spectacle et la voix merveilleuse de Lisette Oropesa !
Wonderful...class A & five stars singer!!!
She’s incredible!!
Sublime et magnifique ! et ces trilles ..........

Mi ha lasciato a bocca aperta ! Estasiato ! Dove non è riuscita la Callas.... cantare Mozart !
This is positively brilliant!
I normally don’t like lyric coloraturas in this role, especially this aria as it is one of Mozart’s belters. However, this is quite stunning.

How wonderful a young singer to truly admire.
I'm in love with Lisette😍

The orchestra has to keep up with her at the end in the final scales. Brava
BTW, where was this recorded ?
brava
SPEACHLESS
Too many notes.
That's how Mozart wrote it.
The quote is from the film "Amadeus".
@@ohmk1395 Oh. Ok. Thanks for the clarification.😀

@@artdanks Superb Magnificent aria , love every note of it , perfection as an aria and here, as a performance of it . Not one note too many .
