I want to get out of the major opera houses.
Renee Fleming
Image
I was constantly being pushed toward a European ideal of what it means to be a classical or opera singer, let's say in the Renata Tebaldi mode. I reject that.

No voice teacher can be all things to all people. You have to gain information from whatever sources you can. You have to listen.
Renee Fleming
Image

Renee Fleming
Image
Singers can also get away with a lot based on youth, strength and enthusiasm, only to find ten years later that what was once just a niggling problem has brought their careers to an end.
