Manage episode 307406675 series 2944105
For opera lovers, today's guest needs no introduction. Renée Fleming is one of the most celebrated and cherished singers worldwide.
In the midst of a whirlwind tour, Renée had a moment to chat with dramaturg Cori Ellison about her Santa Fe Opera debut in a concert featuring Letters from Georgia by Kevin Puts and Vier letzte Lieder (Four Last Songs) of Richard Strauss.
Renée shares a peek inside her preparation and collaborative process for singing the role of New Mexico icon artist Georgia O'Keeffe, reflects on one of her most sung pieces of repertoire by Strauss, and shares the drive behind the growing body of arts education advocacy and neuroscience research she is championing.
