Bio
One of the most beloved and celebrated musical ambassadors of our time, soprano Ren�e Fleming captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. Known as “the people’s diva,” she continues to grace the world’s greatest opera stages and concert halls, now extending her reach to include other mediums. Over the past few seasons, Ms. Fleming has begun hosting a wide variety of television and radio broadcasts, including the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series for movie theaters and television, and Live from Lincoln Center on PBS. In 2008, a precedent was broken when Ms. Fleming became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to headline an opening night gala. As a musical statesman, Ren�e Fleming has been sought after for numerous distinguished occasions, from the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to performances in Beijing during the 2008 Olympic Games. On January 18, 2009, she performed for the televised We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial concert for President Obama. She has performed for the United States Supreme Court, HRH The Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace, and celebrated the recent 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution at the invitation of V�clav Havel. With her album Dark Hope, Ren�e Fleming is challenging herself in an entirely new way. The album, produced by Grammy-winner David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Regina Spektor), is a daring exploration of contemporary pop songs from a startling range of writers, including rock legends (Peter Gabriel, Leonard Cohen) and some of the world’s finest young bands (Arcade Fire, Muse, The Mars Volta). A three-time Grammy winner, Ms. Fleming won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance for Verismo (Decca/September 2009), a CD featuring a collection of rarely heard Italian arias with the Orchestra Giuseppe Verdi di Milano conducted by Marco Armiliato. Ms. Fleming’s most recent DVD is the complete Tha�s (Decca/January 2010) featuring the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra conducted by Jes�s L�pez-Cobos. These releases follow the critically acclaimed 2008 CD of Strauss: Four Last Songs, conducted by Christian Thielemann and the DVD of the complete Der Rosenkavalier featuring the Munich Philharmonic, also conducted by Christian Thielemann. In recent years, this twelve-time Grammy nominated artist has recorded everything from Strauss’s complete Daphne to the jazz album Haunted Heart, to the movie soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Her recording honors range from the 2009 Echo Award for Strauss’s Four Last Songs to the Prix Maria Callas Orph�e d’Or by the Acad�mie du Disque Lyric for TDK’s DVD production of Capriccio. Ren�e Fleming’s artistry has been an inspiration to many other prominent artists, such as Chuck Close and Robert Wilson, whose portraits of her were included in the Metropolitan Opera’s 2007 fund-raising auction. Two portraits of Ms. Fleming were also created by Francesco Clemente, who revealed one work in Salzburg in spring 2007, with the Metropolitan Opera displaying the other in 2008. Among her numerous awards are Sweden’s Polar Prize (2008); the Chevalier de la L�gion d’Honneur from the French government (2005); Honorary Membership in the Royal Academy of Music (2003); and a 2003 Honorary Doctorate from The Juilliard School, where she was also commencement speaker. .... An advocate for literacy, Ren�e Fleming has been featured in promotional campaigns for the Association of American Publishers (Get Caught Reading), and the Magazine Publishers of America’s READ poster campaign for the American Library Association. She was honored by The New York Public Library as a “Library Lion.” Her book, “The Inner Voice,” was published by Viking Penguin in 2004, and released in paperback by Penguin the following year. An intimate account of her career and creative process, the book is also published in France by Fayard Editions, in the United Kingdom by Virgin Books, by Henschel Verlag in Germany, Shunjusha in Japan, and by Fantom Press in Russia. In addition to her work on stage and in recordings, Ren�e Fleming has represented Rolex timepieces in print advertising since 2001. In 2008, she launched La Voce by Ren�e Fleming, a fragrance designed for her, with the proceeds benefiting the Metropolitan Opera. Master Chef Daniel Boulud has created the dessert “La Diva Ren�e” (1999) in her honor, and she has inspired the “Ren�e Fleming Iris” (2004), which has been replicated in porcelain by Boehm. Having been added to Mr. Blackwell’s best dressed list, her concert gowns have been designed by Bill Blass, Gianfranco Ferr�, John Galliano, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Issey Miyake, Oscar de la Renta, Angel Sanchez and Vivienne Westwood. In addition to serving as the face of opera for two public transit campaigns in New York and London, Ms. Fleming has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show, The View, Prairie Home Companion as “Renata Flamb�,” and Spectacle: Elvis Costello with…, among numerous other media outlets. Ms. Fleming is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Hall Corporation, the Board of Sing for Hope, and the Advisory Board of the White Nights Foundation of America.
