Renée Fleming is an American soprano whose sublime voice and compelling stage presence have earned her the title of “the people’s diva.” Born on February 14, 1959 in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Fleming grew up in a musical household that greatly influenced her path in classical music. She studied at the Eastman School of Music and later at the Juilliard School. Her rise to fame began with winning the Metropolitan Opera Auditions in 1988, which set the stage for a stellar career that has spanned over three decades.

Renowned for her virtuosic interpretations of opera, lieder, art songs, and contemporary music, Fleming's repertoire is as diverse as it is sophisticated. Her recent releases highlight this diversity, from her celebrated performances in operas like Verdi's "La traviata" and Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro" in "Her Greatest Moments at the MET," to her exploration of the intersection between music and nature in "Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene." Fleming's artistry extends beyond classical, touching the worlds of indie rock and musical theater as seen in albums such as "Broadway." As a four-time Grammy Award winner, Renée Fleming continues to captivate audiences worldwide with a voice that is both powerful and poignant, a testament to her enduring legacy in the world of classical music.
