Lisette Oropesa in Conversation

Wednesday, March 25, 2026
7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET

In Person at the National Opera Center & Livestreamed

Acclaimed soprano Lisette Oropesa is one of the most in-demand opera artists of her generation, celebrated for her luminous voice, expressive acting, and wide-ranging repertoire. She has appeared on the world’s leading stages and earned many of opera’s highest honors for performances that combine vocal brilliance with dramatic depth. Midway through her highly anticipated return to the Metropolitan Opera as Violetta in La traviata, Oropesa takes a break from the stage to sit down for a conversation with OPERA America Chief Programs Officer Jamelah Rimawi, reflecting on her career, artistry, and creative process.

Attendees are invited to a casual reception following the event.
