Oropesa's soprano has all the distinctive darkness of Callas but with the pinpoint agility of Sutherland at her peak...but this is more than a vocal acrobatic display; it's a complete characterisation.

About
Lucia di Lammermoor is one of the most iconic works of the bel canto repertoire, showcasing Gaetano Donizetti’s masterful blend of lyrical beauty and dramatic intensity. Based on Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Bride of Lammermoor, the opera tells a haunting tale of love, political rivalry, and psychological collapse. At its heart lies the tragic heroine Lucia (Lisette Oropesa), caught between familial duty and a forbidden love, whose descent into madness culminates in one of the most famous and demanding scenes in all of opera—the legendary "mad scene."
