More From Renee Fleming
- "For years, I had no time for exploratory travel."
- "I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It’s a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it’s a great date or something that’s just hugely romantic."
- "My worry is that opera will become an historic art form as opposed to a living, breathing thing."
