Bel Canto Soprano @Lisette_Oropesa dazzles in the new production of
I Puritani at The Royal Opera, Covent Garden, London
“Woman of the match, though, is Lisette Oropesa. Elvira is fast becoming a signature role for her, and her performance, dazzlingly well sung and consistently dramatically involving, is the best reason for reviving this tricky, fascinating opera.” says The Guardian’s Erica Jeal
If you’re in London, run don’t walk to catch Miss Oropesa in Richard Jones’s stunning new production of I Puritani
