Renee Fleming
Image
Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.
Renee Fleming

In a way, being an opera singer is like being a very romantic sixteen-year-old who falls in love with great passion and conviction every month.
Renee Fleming

I cannot imagine a more satisfying calling than my own: beauty, humanity, and history every day, combined with the cathartic joy of singing.
Renee Fleming
Image
