Renée Fleming with Ludovic Morlot and Seattle Symphony
Versatile, attractive, lively, risk-taking—that’s beloved soprano Renée Fleming, who performs on a special program with the Seattle Symphony tonight. Usually seen and heard in lead roles on the Metropolitan Opera stage or introducing the Met’s popular Live in HD series at movie houses, here she’s singing everything from French art song (Ravel) and opera (Gounod) to naughty operetta (Lehar and Korngold), to pop, rock (“Soul Meets Body,” “Endlessly”) and gospel. She paid for college by singing in a jazz trio, and her first rock recording, Dark Hope, came out in 2010. This concert should be a sellout.
