An Evening with Renée Fleming | London Philharmonic Orchestra

She’s been called ‘America’s reigning diva’: the soprano who conquered the Superbowl, and the most stylish Merry Widow ever to command the stage of the New York Met. She’s an artist of limitless charisma and dramatic flair, with a voice spun from silk and gold; unquestionably one of the greatest sopranos of our time. She’s Renée Fleming, and when she sings, written words seem redundant – exactly the dilemma faced by the lovelorn Countess Madeleine in the radiant final scene of Richard Strauss’s Capriccio. If any living artist can give us a definitive answer, it’s Renée Fleming.
