Renee Fleming soars in recital at the Lyric Opera House
On one level, Rene Fleming's eloquent recital at the Lyric Opera House Wednesday night was just that - a solo performance by a pulchritudinous and ever-engaging soprano, one of the biggest vocal stars on the world stage today.
Music began with vocals, and in great singers the roots of the orchestra can be heard.
The last time Renee Fleming sang at Baltimore's Lyric Opera House , in December 2007, she heard something that superstar sopranos typically don't encounter - a wailing alarm bell, set off accidentally backstage.
