@ Phili Smith as great as that would've been I did a bit of searching and this video and that of the Chinese student are not in the same year. The ticktock was of this year and this video was 4 years ago. Like I said it would've been great but he still has a long road ahead
I showed my mother this clip and she cried with joy when she heard Lisette sing. She makes us love opera even more! Thank you for putting this on youtube!
Finally, someone who sings it the way it's written (with added acuto at the end). The last time I heard such precise singing was when Sutherland and Sills were singing the role. The tenor (who looks like he is 15 years old) is very good. Bravissimi!
The Tenor is Ivan Ayon Rivas. He was born in 1993 in Peru which would have made him 23/24 at the time of this Aids benefit. Very mature voice for his age but I agree, he looks about 15 lol. Also agree with your comment about Lisette. She's a wonderful technical and emotive singer.
This was flawless, omg! Lisette never fails to amaze me after I discovered her while watching clips of the MET’s production of Hansel und Gretel this season. The tenor had to have the most crisp diction ofnall the Alfredo’s I’ve heard. This was a pure eargasm.
Oh! She is so charismatic, and her voice so full! The tenor too, very nice!!! This aria is very difficult, and beyond the technique, or the precisions, they make us enjoy this wonderful masterpiece. BRAVO!!!!
Lisette Oropesa is the real deal! Her voice has a beautiful shimmer like Angela Gheorghieu’s that brings tears to my eyes. She is in a class by herself. Stunningly beautiful! Thank you Lisette for all you have shared on UA-cam.
GLORIOUS ! Lisette must be one of the leading sopranos by now. She amazes everybody. I only discovered her recently, haven't heard such a unique voice since my beloved Anna Moffo (1932-2006) , who was the ruling Violetta in her days, among ruling many other roles. So nice that Lisette replies to positive comments on youtube, which indicates that , although already very famous, she still values the reactions of admirers. And we do appreciate that! Thanks Lisette. Greetings from Holland.
Anna Moffo as Lucia & Lisette Oropesa as Lucia di L are both divine. Divine! I saw Lisette at Royal Opera House, in Lucia di Llamermoor. She was beyond adjectives of perfection! Her coloratura is sublime. The effect she projects as a dramatic actress is a wonder...everyone held their breath...a heart-stopping talent!
Anna Moffo will always be my favorite and, in my opinion, the only flawless Violetta ever. Period. The recorded performance of La Traviata, with Moffo, Tucker, Merrill, and Previtali will always be the best. If you've never heard it, please do. It still gives me chills and makes me cry.
Her voice is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! And powerful! And lyric! Mrs Oropesa is so talented! Thank you a thousand times for your hard work! You're the best! I can't stop listening to this chef d'œuvre!!!
Hands down the best modern rendition of this aria I've heard. She has such a perfect grasp of the style and architecture of this music, and she has the florid technique to sing everything required naturally and effortlessly. There is something about her phrasing and her effortless use of fioriture as a means of expression really remind me of Callas in her prime, though the voice is a much lighter voice that La Divina's. I have heard only two modern sopranos who understand this music well: Oropesa and Eglise Gutierrez.
Extraordinary Lisette Oropesa. Very good the tenor; a pity that he is not given credit since when he appears on the scene his name (Iván Ayón-Rivas) does not appear superimposed in the video, but the name Lisette Oropesa for a second time.
I so agree with you . What sets her apart from any soprano out there at the moment is the intelligence of her musical phrasing. Take the time and listen to her incredible Lucia from Madrid last year. I had the great pleasure to be in the audience at the ROH when she sang her first Lucia in London 2 years ago and I was ( as most people in the audience) just so impressed by the quality and the beauty of her singing that I became her biggest fan. Looking forward to hear her again soon. She had a tremendous success in Paris in " Les Huguenots" and " Elisir d'Amore". Now on to "La Scala" for the " I Masnadieri". This is one soprano to watch in the years to come. Brava Lisette.
She’s got to be the best of the best. Just everything about her intonation, coloratura, and technique is impeccable. ❤ my favorite opera singer thus far, Cecilia Bartoli is close second.
What a voice! What good technique! Some may throw rocks at me for this, but I mean it as a compliment. Her sound reminds me of of a young Beverly Sills, so bright, agile and precise but without sacrificing emotion. I noticed there is also a clip of her singing one of Bubble's signature arias from "Robert le Diable" so perhaps Sills was one of her influences. Bravissima, Ms. Oropesa!!
YatesNYC Why would anyone throw rocks?? Sills was a great artist, and she sounded much better in the theater than on recordings. I saw her many times; she was fantastic up until the last few years of her singing career.
C'est tout simplement une merveille de voix, de technique, de musicalité and last but not least .. de naturel. Pas une note de manque, tout est là, avec les nuances et la beauté du timbre: Madame Oropesa , chapeau bas! Tant de chanteuses sont des caricatures d'elle mêmes et je ne citerai personne (!) ...mais il y en a tant et tant!
As great as this is, she was even greater in the Met Traviatas back in March prior to the COVID-19 shut down. Oropesa is an artist whose voice continues to grow in depth, color and size. The best is yet to come.
I’ve been watching the Met HD streams online. I saw a version of La Traviata with Renée Fleming and I couldn’t stand her. Her voice is so heavy and muddy with no clarity and terrible vowels. I also watched Lisette in Manon and was blown away, not just by her singing but her acting and expression. I wish there were more recordings of her operas in full. I’m tired of seeing Fleming and Netrebko appear over and over in these Met HD videos. I don’t like their voices. I also saw Joyce DiDonato in Cendrillon and, again, I don’t understand why people love her so much. In that video at least her voice was so thin and whiny. And the woman playing La Fée (I don’t know her name - she was a young Asian woman) was definitely not as strong as Lisette. Her coloratura was very light but not in a good way - it seemed to lack foundation for me. I think Lisette would have absolutely nailed that role. I’ve heard some people call her high notes screechy and I don’t hear that at all. I’d much rather see her than any of the other singers I mentioned. She’s a breath of fresh air in an industry that seems to keep bringing back the same singers because they’re famous despite the fact that their technique is in decline. She’s going to have a wonderful career!

Brava and then some. I have been a devotee of bel canto singing for 40 years. She seems to my ears exceptional. I accept the comparison to Anna Moffa who I discovered only 20 years ago and have been obsessed with as I tend to shy from most soprano voices...preferring the mezzo and contralto in almost any era of vocal music. This voice I will not shy from.
HOW ADORABLE is that little wink at the camera in the beginning! Ahhhhh.... She is absolutely stunning and wonderful.
Это единственное, что она себе позволяет - подмигнуть в камеру. Лизетта не садится на колени слушателей, не сбрасывает туфли и не разбрасывает букеты.
You fell for it, we all fell for it. She is super cute though.
She made this extremely hard aria sound so easy. So effortlessly! True talent!
For anyone looking for the tenor's name: His name is Iván Ayón-Rivas. Thanks to the Peruvian commenters who were able to recognize him!
I love this soprano! And the Chinese tenor who she came across in one of her performances!. Please check it out!
He was awesome!!
Ia that really him? Sounds like him
Came here after saw that video too 😅 what a wholesome moment and humble singer she is
I think he's not him

Ms. Oropesa's performance was simply stunning! She stole my heart the moment I heard her angelic voice
Her high notes are beautiful and she's simply adorable ! 🌹🌹🌹
She's definitely one of the best in her generation.

I thought the same thing about the tenor! He sounds great, but looks 15.
Sills is my favorite Violetta and I think this might be the only singer who even comes close for me! Love her :)

@@jamesgrandjean6138 and she very deservedly won the Beverly Sills Award. I'm sure our Beverly would definitely have approved!
The tenor is from Perú 🇵🇪 my country... He won Operalia the last year... He is 29 nowadays🤗
That wink at the camera was everything.
it was super charming
That was meant for me, sorry. 😜
Something about this makes your soul happy. Music is one of life's greatest miracles.
Merveilleuse soprano !😊Et splendide ténor !😊
She deserves a standing ovation 👏🏻

Shahrdad that's why I got mesmerized by her because of her phrasing, which is similar to Callas.
And both of them are Cubans!
She's a miracle.
I saw her in Pittsburgh a couple years ago and I became an instant fan. I seriously do not understand how a human voice can do that.
Extraordinary Lisette Oropesa.
Very good the tenor; a pity that he is not given credit since when he appears on the scene his name (Iván Ayón-Rivas) does not appear superimposed in the video, but the name Lisette Oropesa for a second time.
Yvan Ayon (Peruvian new tenor) won the Placido Domingo’s contest, in Moscow, in 2022 or 2021…
Ohlášení dámy a pohledy v publiku - hrozný. Klaním se a tleskám dámě. Díky, díky díky
Not only is the expression in her voice, this aria simply shines with all the fireworks. Brava!!!

Once again a stunning performance. She is simply the best!
Excelente la Soprano....Excelente EL TENOR ...Saludos desde Peru. Un orgullo compratriota Ivan Ayon Rivas.... fabulosa voz... sigue asi :D
Brava, brava, bravissima Lisette!!! Meraviglia!!!👏💝🌟🌹💐🌺
BEAUTIFUL ! Her voice, musicality, phrases, pitch and a lot of more qualities , added to her beauty make her the perfect Violeta Valery.
I saw Ms Lizette at the Royal Opera House, as Lucia di Llammermoor... divina!
I just love her. The technique and all is there. Even the tenor compromises to be there for her. The 💪❤❤❤
The tenor is Yvan Ayon, Peruvian talent…
I saw her this summer as Violetta. She is a glorious artist!!!!
With Greek National Opera, Sophia?
Sophiart Papadimitropoulou Artist where did u go see her?? That sounds like so much fun!
What an awesome voice. Made me appreciate opera more!
She’s got to be the best of the best. Just everything about her intonation, coloratura, and technique is impeccable. ❤ my favorite opera singer thus far, Cecilia Bartoli is close second.

Both her and the tenor were amazing, I wish I could sing that good 💕😭
Gosh, so wonderful! Someone mentioned Anna Moffo, yes, same great artistry, intelligence and beauty. Onward and upward, dear lady!
She is a prodigious musician whose instrument is the voice. BRAVA!
wow, amazing voice, stunning performance!!!

I was NOT ready for that wink, 10/10, was surprised, blushed a little
She is so confident in her mastery of the aria and her voice that she is free to play and be joyful. Monserrat Caballe was a joyful singer.
Swoon 😍
I can't express the feeling I have when I listen to her singing. Bellissima!
Nothing sets my soul aflame quite like a gifted and talent soprano.

Бесподобно !!! Прекрасно !!!
FINALY A TRUE SOPRANO !!!! BRAVISSIMA
? Have you never heard Anna Moffo's Violetta? Perfection.
Did you hear Diana Damrau singing magic flute queen of the night aria ?
Then you don't know Erika Miklosa 🤷🏾♂️.
@@TinkerbellG65 yo no. Pero lo voy a buscar
Amazing, I always come back to this, she’s so great. So beautiful and joyful
Magnificent! voice - she has mastered bel canto
Oh, I was reminded of a drama. highest appreciation for this original version.
L'ho sentita ieri all'Arena dal vivo! Voce cristallina, un vero piacere ascoltarla.
Ed io a Vienna nella Traviata l'anno scorso: fantastica!
I don't listen to opera on my own. I listen to her fir almost an hour. It's more than just that legit sound her voice is very special
She is impaccable and with a beautiful voice to listen to as well as beauty.
I love her so much. One of the best sopranos of our generation.
Yesssss!!!!! I bow down in admiration and respect

Adorable! 🤩
What a beautiful soprano ❤️🩹
They both rocked it again.
She has done an unbelievable performance! Brava!
her voice is so gorgeous
Lovely!! A very intelligent artist and singer.
