Renée Fleming

Sunday, May 01, 2005

Met opera superstar Renée Fleming shares with Gilbert Kaplan the music she loves to sing (Bellini, Massenet, Strauss) or just listen to (Satie, Crumb) and reveals why she tries to avoid "diva behavior"; that forgetting some of her lines "happens to me all the time"; how the opera stage enables her to become uninhibited; how she copes if the audience boos; and even offers a theory on why the legendary Maria Callas lost her voice.
