2019 - Fall Newsletter - New York, Rio, Washington and New Orleans
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2019
- This season I am honored with so many incredible opportunities and am filled with gratitude. This will be an unforgettable fall season. I’m doing my first ever performances of the title role of Massenet’s MANON at the Metropolitan Opera! It’s also my biggest role at the Met in a long time, and as this year’s winner of the Beverly Sills Award, it comes with a special significance for me, as this was one of her signature roles.
There will be an HD broadcast on October 26th and I’m so excited! But before the HD, I am happy to make my South American debut in a special solo concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for Grandes Vozes on October 13th, and I’ll be giving a masterclass there as well.
This year I have the honor of being the Richard Tucker Award winner, also, and right after our Manon HD, there is our gala at Carnegie Hall on October 27th. Then I head to New Orleans to give a recital on November 13th, accompanied by stunning pianist Michael Borowitz. From there, we head to Washington, D.C. where I’m thrilled to join Betsy Bishop at the Potomac Vocal Institute in a masterclass open to the public, on November 16th.
To cap off the French roles of the season, I’ll be singing the role of Ophélie in Thomas’ HAMLET with the Washington Concert Opera on November 24th.
REFLECTIONS:
I’ve always found it interesting that when the fall season begins, the opera season also begins. I never think of autumn as a beginning, but it’s become one, professionally, for me. That said, there isn’t really a sense of ending!
Our whole business is that way; when most people’s days are ending, ours are beginning, as we are the entertainment for the evening, a kind of escape for so many, into our beautiful world of all-encompassing music. We bring all of our organic selves every moment, and when the performance is done, we reflect and hope that we have managed to bring joy, passion, excitement, or any emotion at all, to someone in the audience.
It makes me so happy when people are moved by our work, as it is not easy to break down into building blocks, but is more like a lump of clay. Though many see opera singers as demigods, I find it ironic that it’s the raw humanity of our work that somehow translates into the divine.
I feel so blessed with this gift and love every moment of this very challenging path, because I am reminded that despite my struggles and hardships, somebody out there is being moved.

Hope you guys enjoy the Traviata clip, live from one of my Athens performances this summer. Baritone is my dear friend Dimitri Platanias!
OMG. I just realized we were at the Acropolis the day of your July 31 performance and missed it....I'm dying! Is there anywhere I can find a video of the entire performance?
Literally thought it was Callas at first...!
gasp! Wow thank you!
You are always delightful!!! I am soooo excited that we will soon have an HD recording of your Manon!!!
Just bought tickets for me and my husband. See you in New Orleans!
Thank you for your wonderful videos, those are so powerful for young singers. We learn so much from this glimpse of your journey every 3 months! Thank you xxx!
I'm so glad you enjoy them and get something from them. Much appreciated!
Gentilissima signora Lisette Le auguro un sereno 2020. Buon Anno e tanta salute.... Massimo
Can’t wait to hear you in Rio ❤️
Thanks for sharing once again, keep shining, and continued success 🙏😊.
Thanks my friend! All the same joy and happiness to you!
This is really cool. I love that you interact with your fans on social media. My 14yr old and I saw your performance last week and it was fantastic. Thank you
I try to keep up with everyone but it's often a daunting task! haha, well I'm so glad you and your young one came to the show! Thank you so much for the support!
Vegan scones sound great. A wonderful newsletter as ever ... you've inspired me to take up singing in a choir (which I am thoroughly enjoying), though more soul music than opera (could never sing for three plus hours in a million years). Hope you have a lovely Autumn !
You sound wonderful in the Traviata duet. I hope you come to California again someday.
Thank you so much, I wasn't feeling so great that day so I'm glad it turned out ok
È sempre un immenso piacere. La sua Gilda nel Rigoletto assolutamente incantevole. Complimenti vivissimi. Massimo.
Grazie mille, Massimo!
Gracias por compartir tus proyectos, tu vida y tu canto con tanta ilusión. Escuché tu Lucia en el Teatro Real el año pasado y ¡ojalá vuelvas pronto!
This is another great newsletter both the written and the video version. The montage at the end is particularly engaging. Thank you for taking the time to do this for your fans. Following you, your newsletters and your other videos has given me a much greater appreciation of opera and opera singers.
Thanks my husband gets all the montage credit! I do enjoy sharing this way, then I can look back and have great memories too!
Tickets to the HD broadcast have been bought looking forward to it.
Excellent! Thank you so much!!
🤗🤗🤗Brava! Wish I could see you in Rio, but it's too far. Will have to wait till Madrid. Hope you can make it some day to Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, one of my favorite in the entire world. FORZA!!!!!
Thank you so much and I can't wait to see you in Madrid too!
Essa diva vem para o Brasil!!! Woohoo!!!! 😊
I was so happy to sing there last night! Very exciting and wonderful place, and the best public!

Cuando vendrás a España? Verte en Lucia di Lammermoor está en mi top 10 cosas para hacer en la vida, al menos una vez.
Gracias Hector, vengo a Madrid a cantar La Traviata en mayo 2020!
I know this is old but, "Yay! Disney World!"
Lisette sube un vídeo cantando O Dieu Brahma, se escucharía muy lindo con tu voz.
Congratulations on winning the Richard Tucker Award!
Thanks very much! It's a huge honor!
Hey Liz, I was wondering if you could do a video about the differences between American musical education and European one and how can a young artist coming from non exclusively college music education (like Greece for example, where I come from) can compete with American artists, or people from countries who have a more developed and institutionalized music education like us.
