Renée Fleming in Recital on Feb 1, 2024 | UCSB Arts & Lectures

“A superstar by any measure.” The New York Times

“Fleming’s soprano – another exemplar of legendary beauty – soars with the force of an uncontainable soul.” The New Yorker

Radiant soprano Renée Fleming’s lustrous voice is the stuff of legends. Affectionately called “America’s Diva,” only she can claim to have sung at the Super Bowl, Buckingham Palace, a Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, a presidential inauguration and all the world’s major opera houses – not to mention boasting five Grammy wins, an indie rock album and a Tony-nominated Broadway appearance. Inspired by Fleming’s 2023 Grammy Award-winning album Voice of Nature, the program spans classical, romantic and contemporary music and incorporates original video from the National Geographic Society. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear “one of the truly magnificent voices of our time” (Los Angeles Times) lend her trademark warmth and sensitivity to a rare recital performance.
