At the Wednesday performance of Figao, Lisette Oropesa subbed for the scheduled Susanna. I cannot imagine what it would be like, to be this
young person thrust onto that great stage, in front of 4,000 people,
not to mention Sirius satellite radio.
Lisette is a lovely young woman with plump cheeks and a nonstop smile,
who seemed to be channeling Beverly Sills. Surely Susanna is a very
difficult soprano role: she's on stage more than anyone else, and
always at full throttle. Lisette can't be more than 25 (she's a Young
Artist at the Met) but she handled herself like, well, like a trouper.
Cute kid! We may hear more from her. http://www.lisetteoropesa.com/
