Lisette Oropesa (born September 29, 1983) is an American operatic soprano of Cuban ancestry.[1] Her repertoire includes works from Gluck, Handel, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Wagner, Verdi, Bizet, Massenet, Bellini and Puccini. With her lyric coloratura soprano voice,[2] she has performed roles in her native Spanish and English, as well as German, French and Italian. She is particularly noted in the roles of Susanna, Gilda, Konstanze, Lucia and Manon.
Oropesa is a vegan, and runner/marathoner who has been featured in Runner's World Magazine.[3] In 2014, she co-contributed to Running, Eating, Thinking: A Vegan Anthology[4] by Martin Rowe, where she talked about her weight loss journey and how she now follows a plant-based diet.
In 2015, she was a contributor to Master Singers: Advice from the Stage which includes interviews with opera singers about "analysis and awareness of their technique, art, interpretation and stagecraft".[5]
