Earlier in 2013, Latinos Post interviewed opera star Lisette Oropesa in anticipation of her performances at the Metropolitan Opera in Verdi's Rigoletto and Wagner's Siegfried. Since that interview, the soprano has engaged in a number of diverse performance opportunities, traveled to Santa Fe for the first time in her life, performed a new operatic role, performed at her Alma Mater and even made her name outside of the world of opera. Oropesa spoke with Latinos Post earlier this week to recap what has been a terrific year and preview her upcoming performances at the Met in Verdi's Falstaff.
