Overview
[Lisette Oropesa]'s tenacious musicianship was probably \"inherited,\" she says, from her Cuban family: Her grandfather was an amateur tenor, her mom was an opera soprano, her father was a guitarist and her younger sister plays piano. But the Louisiana-raised singer was surrounded by rich Southern cooking and little reason to exercise (\"I'll be damned if I'm going to run in 95-degree heat,\" she recalls with a laugh). But her Metropolitan Opera audition at age 21 convinced her to lose some of her 210 pounds. In December, she finished her first marathon, crossing the ticker tape alongside her husband. \"Now, I'm addicted to staying healthy,\" says Oropesa, who's also a vegan. \"I love to sing, but long-distance running is what I do to relieve the stress. I'm not competing for any prizes. It's purely to make myself a healthier person.\"
