Renee Fleming
I want to get out of the major opera houses.
Renee Fleming
Well, any time Im preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, its as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.
Renee Fleming
I think singing it when its done well is extremely natural. It feels great.
Renee Fleming
I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced.
