Love Oropesa’s voice and musical intelligence, she will surely become a legend in this repertoire if this is any indication. Hendrickson’s voice is like velvet and suits this Verdi role beautifully, what a talent!
I was lucky to be in the front row with friends looking up at them that magical night. Joseph Colanero and the LSU Symphony Orchestra were wonderful. I watch this over and over just to re-experience the moment.
Brilliant. Lisette Oropesa is one of the finest, if not the finest, sopranos - vocally and artistically, - to grace the operatic stages the world over. She reminds one of Callas in her ability to get into the roles she sings. Her vocal production is impeccable. This is my first hearing of this wonderful, young baritone. His voice is large and the sound is ample. The upper range seems limitless. Even now his interpretation of this difficult duet is impressive. The vocal gifts and artistic instincts will only meld with time. A distinguished career is clearly in the making.
Definitely in the line of Calas and Scotto-a true rarity. I hope she has great advisors and coaches because everyone will want to hear her in these roles and there is a risk of over-singing. I hope she errs on the side of longevity. Opera needs singers like this now more than ever.
I think I could happily watch this every day. It’s a nuanced, finely observed performance, especially for a concert setting - to say nothing of how beautifully sung it is. Oropesa’s attention to dramatic, as well as as musical, detail is shown to advantage. Hendrickson makes rather a tender-hearted Germont, and he’s a nice match vocally for Oropesa.
Celeste Soprano, la più bella e cristallina voce della lirica di oggi. Interpretando Violetta raggiungi vette inarrivabili, rendendo sublime la musica Verdiana. BRAVISSIMA 🌹
Es fascinante como la expresión corporal de Lisette va totalmente con la escena que están representando y está actuando el papel en lugar de limitarse a cantar la melodía. La expresión corporal de Brandon ya quizá resulta más fría a pesar de lo cálido de su voz, pero no deja de ser un papel, el de Giorgio Germont, de un viudo con hijos de la alta sociedad que no se puede permitir excesos sentimentales y tiene que hacerse el duro.
Can't comment on her singing (beyond the fact it is beautiful) but IMO Lisette Oropesa is distinguished by her acting and how she channels emotion into the song. Brava!
Lisette, en estos momentos es la mejor soprano de las altas esferas. Una técnica que ya no se encuentra, una proyección y soltura al cantar que denota su practica incesante para alcanzar esto, su trillo natural... Ufff... el personaje de violeta es muy difícil, el tener 3 etapas de canto dentro del mismo es difícil lograr. En un principio muy belcantista, en la segunda etapa hay una mezcla entre esta y el verismo, y ya en lo último vuelca en el verismo al final... Ojala que allá mas streaming de Lisette, pk me encantaría tener una copia en bluray de la traviata con ella :)
Cuando asciende tu voz, ¿pesa, o no pesa? Si explota en cascada de diamantes O ingrávidas bengalas centelleantes, Tu voz es luz, y ved: ¡la luz no pesa! Mas cuando fluye cual metal fundido Y se licúa en un almíbar denso De miel dorada, o de cristal de incienso, Formando un cerco de ámbar derretido, Entonces su grosor y contundencia, En lucha con la luz que la acompaña, Se crece como el sol que en ella baña Cuando regala al mundo su presencia. Así, tornasolada en luz se espesa Tu voz, que es oro al sol. Y el Oro pesa.
Have you ever gotten teary eyed and emotional for real (unplanned) when singing a role? How do you stop that from happening when an audience is watching you?
Ho amata quest',opera son da bambina quando mio papà era di servizio come poliziotto nei teatri di Bari (Petruzzelli e Piccinni) mi portava con sé e andavo gin sotto il palco x gustarmela x cui è entrata nell'anima❤️ saprei cantarla tutta e non perdo occasione di andare a vederla(ultima alla Fenice di Venezia) ed ogni volta mi commuovo x la vicenda ma soprattutto x la musica sublime di Verdi.aspettero' con ansia il 9/4 x vederla in TV RAI 3 . pina da venezia
Какое замечательное исполнение. Я открыла для себя Лизетту. Хендриксон тоже замечательный, но в силу своего поисхождения не такой артистичный как Лизетта.
Это моя самая любимая опера. Могу слушать её в любом исполнении бесконечно! Браво великому Верди!
Lisette lascia senza fiato...ma anche il Signor Brandon Hendrickson mi ha molto impressionato; BRAVI.

Shlomo Hoffert es una voz hermosa los dos pero ella esestupenda
She is the new María. No questions about it

You are absolutely divine as Violetta!! Amazing singing by your Germont, as well!!
A voice in a state of grace. Musical intelligence. The music sounds new ! Genius
¡ BRAVO ! Miss Oropesa posee una hermosa voz.
Una de las mejores Violetas que he escuchado. 🎉
Lui est une voix, superbe. Elle, est une véritable comédienne.
Wow, I already loved her but now I am a huge fan of Mr. Hendrickson.
Celeste Soprano, la più bella e cristallina voce della lirica di oggi.
Interpretando Violetta raggiungi vette inarrivabili, rendendo sublime la musica Verdiana.
BRAVISSIMA 🌹
Gorgeous singing by both. What a wonderful performance.
¡Ud. es admirable, Lisette! ¡Siga, siga, no se detenga por nada!
Beautiful performances here.
Magníficos los dos. Musicalidad, sensibilidad, y técnica de canto impecable. Gracias.
Oropesa es estraordinaria
Beautiful, I sang this passage many years ago in concert.
une pure merveille ...pas entendu de Violetta de cette envergure depuis Callas ...
What a pleasure to listen to this performance. Both of them wonderful.
Обожаю эту оперу! Верди гений!!! Вот это суперзвезда на века. Поют хорошо.
I heard her live in Gilda in LA. Amazing, unforgettable, divine.
Oh wow, mad respect to both of them

EXQUISITE PERFORMANCES...............THEIR VOICES BLEND MAGICALLY
Magnifique !
Eccezionale !!!
Goosebumps on goosebumps. Astounding 😍
Can't comment on her singing (beyond the fact it is beautiful) but IMO Lisette Oropesa is distinguished by her acting and how she channels emotion into the song. Brava!
Love both voices!!!! Him singing on smooth round overtones !!! Her,....divina!!!

I’m kinda obsessed with her voice and her singing.
Non sei il solo ...

Such technical gifted soprano and lovely presentation..
Goose bumps each time I listen to this performance
Bravo Brandon and Lisette!!!
Extraordinaire !😊
STUPENDA LISETTE BRANDON BELLA VOCE AMICI SALYTI DALLA POLONIA
BOTH AMAZING!! Along with that great conductor
La Divina Violetta! Grazie Lizette ;)
Ho pianto di gioia e amore 💖
Amazing!
Maravilloso
Fulminante !

Mil veces Brava!!😘
non sapete is probably my fav from la traviata...between a good violetta and a good conductor you can really feel violettas desperation and anxiety.
Here here! Fabulous lyric dialogue!!!
Cuando asciende tu voz, ¿pesa, o no pesa?
Si explota en cascada de diamantes
O ingrávidas bengalas centelleantes,
Tu voz es luz, y ved: ¡la luz no pesa!
Mas cuando fluye cual metal fundido
Y se licúa en un almíbar denso
De miel dorada, o de cristal de incienso,
Formando un cerco de ámbar derretido,
Entonces su grosor y contundencia,
En lucha con la luz que la acompaña,
Se crece como el sol que en ella baña
Cuando regala al mundo su presencia.
Así, tornasolada en luz se espesa
Tu voz, que es oro al sol. Y el Oro pesa.
Oropesa is the new assoluta in this repertoire. Period.
Que belleza de poema
Cuanta belleza!!!
Magnífico texto , parece original y exclusivo para Oro-pesa
¿ Lissette habrá notado que hay un bellísimo poema dedicado a ella , entre los comentarios de este video? Lo firma tempsperdu.
Brava.
Qué lindo!!!!!!!
brilliant
BRAAAAVAAA!
Hendrickson faz vocalmente um ótimo Germont. Admirável!
Eccellente interpretazione! Lisette straordinaria , Brandon magnifico!
I swear at least one of the violinists was crying...
Me gusta mucho el barítono, su voz me recuerda a grandes Germont. Muchas suerte😘
Ni hay otto el mejor bastianini unico trasparente profundo nadie como el excellence en cualquier opera que cante bastianini siempre
Bravi 🎼🌷🌷🌷🌷🎼
Dear Lisette : Madrid is waiting to see how do you will blast ( again ) the Royal Theatre ...Brava ! :- )
Have you ever gotten teary eyed and emotional for real (unplanned) when singing a role? How do you stop that from happening when an audience is watching you?
Brava
BRAVI!
brava!!!
Such a Violetta-I can't even type the reasons. You all know.

8:10 sounds oddly familiar, brings up this strange déjà vu?
forget about that… different voices.
Какое замечательное исполнение. Я открыла для себя Лизетту. Хендриксон тоже замечательный, но в силу своего поисхождения не такой артистичный как Лизетта.

2막 알프레도의 아버지 조르지오가 찾아와 비올레타에게 알프레도와 헤어질 것을 부탁
Bel timbro il baritono peccato l'intonazione a volte imprecisa ,brava il soprano che ha dovuto lottare con l'orchestra...
Bravissima in tutto,se solo avesse quel registro basso un po più maturo sarebbe perfetta!
Bravi.
