In the context of the "turquerie" fashion, the seraglio became the subject of works of art, the most famous perhaps being Mozart's Singspiel, "Die Entführung aus dem Serail" ("The Abduction from the Seraglio"). In Montesquieu's "Persian Letters", one of the main characters, a Persian from the city of Isfahan, is described as an occupant of a seraglio. "The Seraglio" may refer specifically to the Topkapı Palace, the residence of the former Ottoman Sultans in
Lisette Oropesa Cleveland; the St Matthew Passion in Chicago; "Abduction from the Seraglio" in Bellingham, Washington; and a reprise of her 2010 performance in "Le Nozze di Figaro" at Ravinia Festival. Opera engagements included Nannetta at the Dutch National Opera; Gilda at Grand Théâtre de Genève; and Konstanze at the Bavarian State Opera. Her last performance of 2014 was her debut at the Los Angeles Opera as Rosalba in Daniel Catán's "Florencia en el Amazonas". In 2015, she started the year at the Paris Opera as Konstanze with success "Oropesa, seguita da Marten aller Arten, cantata con accenti incisivi e appassionata recitazione."
