About

Having conquered the world’s greatest opera stages Renée Fleming now returns to her first love – Broadway – music she grew up with and which remains in her blood.

Classic songs by Sondheim, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cole Porter and many more: the greatest shows, the greteast hits.

Original orchestrations, sumptuous new arrangements and songs with jazz combo.

Renée Fleming is one of the most highly-acclaimed singers of our time. In 2013, President Obama awarded her America’s highest honour for an artist, the National Medal of Arts. She brought her voice to a vast new audience in 2014, as the only classical artist ever to sing the US National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Winner of the 2013 Grammy Award (her fourth) for Best Classical Vocal Solo, Renée has sung for momentous occasions from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. In 2008 Renée became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to solo headline an opening night gala.

Renée is heard on the soundtracks of the films The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing. As Artistic Advisor to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Renée is spearheading a collaboration with the U.S. National Institutes of Health, with participation by the National Endowment of the Arts, focused on the science connecting music, wellness, and the brain. She has given 14 presentations with scientists and practitioners around the US on this subject over the past year.

Known for bringing new audiences to classical music and opera, Renée has sung not only with Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and Andrea Bocelli, but also with Elton John, Paul Simon, Sting, Josh Groban, and Joan Baez. She has hosted a wide variety of television and radio broadcasts, including the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series, and Live from Lincoln Center.

Renée has recorded everything from complete operas and song recitals to indie rock and jazz; and her album Signatures was selected by the U.S. Library of Congress for the National Recording Registry, as an “aural treasure worthy of preservation as part of America’s patrimony.” In 2010, she was named the first-ever Creative Consultant at Lyric Opera of Chicago. She is a member of the Board of Trustees of Carnegie Hall, the Board of Sing for Hope, and the Artistic Advisory Board of the Polyphony Foundation. She is a spokesperson for the American Musical Therapy Association.

Among her awards are the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, Germany’s Cross of the Order of Merit, Sweden’s Polar Music Prize, France’s Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, and honorary doctorates from the University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon Universities, the Eastman School of Music, and The Juilliard School.
