2024 - Fall Newsletter - Paris, New York, Geneva, Bilbao, Madrid

Hello my friends, and welcome to my Fall 2024 Newsletter! 👀 - Read the Newsletter Here! https://bit.ly/lisettes-2024-fall-new... This promises to be a very special season for me, and it makes me so happy to be able to share all of these upcoming engagements with you. I hope to see you at some of them. Recitals, concerts, French opera, and of course, a good helping of Bel Canto, always make for a great season! This fall I’m starting with a revival of a beloved role, Manon, to open the season Valencia. Then we move on to Mozart’s Requiem in a single performance in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées. At the end of October, I have the privilege of performing a solo recital at Carnegie Hall, in a special program of Cuban composers and French and Italian music inspired by Spanish rhythms and dances. Two more recitals start off the month of November; one in Geneva and one in Bilbao, both with programs of French and Italian music. Then my most delightful news is my debut of a new bel canto title, Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda. This is a role I’ve been looking forward to for years, and it’s an honor to make this important debut in Madrid at the Teatro Real. Those performances will be in December. Have a wonderful harvest season filled with fun music, crisp weather, and love! And don’t forget pumpkin spice! → REFLECTIONS I love the onset of cool weather; it always makes me walk a little quicker and smile a little brighter. This summer, however, was not without its troubles, as I began dealing with acid reflux that really affected me. I’m still battling it, and I’m trying to take better care of myself and work towards establishing a permanent “routine,” even though the very definition of “routine” is not one that can fit easily into an opera singer’s life. The best thing I’ve learned so far is to be patient with myself and also to say “no,” if I have to, to things that may have negative consequences. No late night dinners, no alcohol, and no excessive chatting. It takes some restraint and lots of discipline, but I am blessed to have people around me who know what is going on with my health right now, and can be supportive. I’m also blessed to be able to count on you all, my friends, for patience and understanding. It’s amazing how many singers have reached out with their own stories about reflux, and shared their tips. It’s a very difficult journey that is full of surprises. I speak on behalf of all singers when I say thank you for any kind words of support you can give to any soloist who puts themselves out there. ------------------------ 🎭 Mozart Requiem October 17 Théâtre des Champs Elysées Paris, France 🎭 Recital October 23 Carnegie Hall, Weill Hall New York, NY, USA 🎭 Recital November 03 Grand Théâtre de Genève Genève, CH 🎭 Recital November 06 Sociedad Filarmónica de Bilbao Bilbo, Bizkaia 🎭 Maria Stuarda December 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29 Teatro Real Madrid, ES ------------ LATEST CD ------------ 💃💃 Mis amores son las flores - Zarzuela Arias 💿 Buy Here! https://warnermusicspain.lnk.to/Misam... ------ 🎧 Listen on iTunes!   / mis-amores-son-las-flores-zarzuela-arias   ------ 🎧 Listen on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/album/4Wf1tl... ➠ FOLLOW ME ☟ Website → https://lisetteoropesa.com Instagram →   / lisetteoropesa​   Facebook →   / lisetteoropesa​   Threads → https://www.threads.net/@lisetteoropesa Twitter →   / lisette_oropesa   BlueSky →https://bsky.app/profile/lisetteorope...
