Interview: Lisette Oropesa, Soprano

As a musician, what is your definition of success? If you feel like there’s still room to grow and you are always striving for better, and you are actually happy and enjoying the process, then you are succeeding. It’s not an arrival point. It’s a journey. What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians? As Americans, I think our singers always do wonderfully when their language skills outside of singing are strong. If you can carry a conversation in the language of the country you are in, you engage in different ways with your international colleagues and make some long lasting relationships. It adds another layer that I think makes a huge difference in your rapport with everyone at whatever company you are at. (via)]]>
