I thought people were tuning out but it was the opposite. A lot of people on my Facebook Lives were always asking me technical questions and I started talking about technique. I just started it on a whim because I was doing some Facebook Lives to just keep my sanity and connect with people (sing some karaoke and whatever).
#Chinese opera student sings from audience series#
Faced with the cancellation of public performances, Oropesa started offering a series of masterclass sessions on Zoom. This was already evident during the period of pandemic confinement in 2020 which forced us to stay at home and suspend any kind of public activity, including artistic. The soprano took a picture with him and gave him her autograph, proving that she’s a class act both on and off the stage. He explained to her that he’s a great admirer and couldn’t contain himself. When the concert was over, Liu approached Oropesa to apologize, as the young man felt he shouldn’t have interrupted her in that way. Lisette was performing the song “Sempre libera,” an aria that concludes the first act of Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata.” She was the solo protagonist of a recital with piano accompaniment by maestro Francesco Izzo. Undoubtedly, charisma is another element that contributes to the fame of an artist, and Oropesa demonstrated late last year at the Teatro Regio in the Italian city of Parma. Therefore, it’s not strange that when her name appears on an opera poster, tickets fly. Despite her youth (she’s only 38 years old) she has a long career and has become one of the most acclaimed sopranos. In recent years, one of the voices that has emerged on the opera scene is Lisette Oropesa, who triumphs in theaters around the world. A lot of patience is also necessary, because success and recognition may never come. Many students travel to Italy to train in this genre, which requires not only a good voice, but also strict discipline and dedication due to long hours of study. In some people, it even provokes the desire to become a tenor or soprano. What was born in Europe as a delight for the ears, has crossed borders and cultures and continues to arouse deep emotions in fans of all ages and nationalities. If there’s any musical genre that has had an enormous following for centuries, it’s opera. Watch the surprised soprano's face when something unexpected happens in the middle of the first act of Giuseppe Verdi's "La Traviata."
