High notes: Renee renews
mainLarry Johnson has good tidings from Chicago.
Renee Fleming will continue as Lyric Opera’s creative consultant through 2017.
Among other things, the soprano and national treasure is launching a ‘multi-year, multi-faceted project’ to nurture young voices.
Chicago’s fairy godmother
Aside from her vocal talent, Renée has perfected the art of infectious communication, and is utterly charming too.
I was delighted to read this happy news: a welcome change from reading obituaries!
We don’t need to “nurture young voices”, conservatories, grants, competitions do that. What singers need are JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!
