NCPA June/21/2017
On June 24th, famous US soprano Renée Fleming will take the stage in collaboration with China NCPA Orchestra for the first time. She will sing diverse styles of songs in her repertoire under the baton of ZHANG Xian.

Since she started her career as a shining soprano in the 1980s, Renée Fleming has been reputed as “the people’s diva” by virtue of her perfect voice and elegant stage image. With proficiency in a wide range of styles in her repertoire from Baroque opera to modernistic opera, Fleming has built herself a brilliant stage image and played a number of impressive roles in worldwide opera houses. In addition to classical music, she has artistic talents in jazz music, musical drama and film music. 

Her versatility has won her numerous awards, such as four Grammy awards and the Gramophone Award.

Soprano Renée Fleming

In 2013, Fleming performed her vocal works of varying styles at NCPA. At the upcoming concert, she will once again demonstrate her musical talents. In the first half of the upcoming concert, she will sing some famous vocal works created by Massenet, Saint-Saëns, Follet and other French composers. The second half will begin with Leonard Bernstein’s gorgeous, passionate work Candide. She will amuse audience with the eternal charm of American classical musicals, and display her talents by singing West Side Story and The King and I. Then she will lead audience into Italy, a cradle of opera art, in her singing of O Mio Babbino Caro (a famous aria created by Gianni Schicchi) and Italian song Mattinata, etc. Then, under the baton of ZHANG Xian, China NCPA Orchestra will perform fascinating Bolero (Ravel), exciting Prelude of La forza del destino (Verdi) and evocative Interlude of Cavalleria Rusticana (Mascagni), etc.

On June 25th, the education activity “Meet and Greet Renée Fleming” will be held at NCPA Arts Library, where she will give a master class to students from the Central Conservatory of Music and young singers from China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater, and share her profound insights into vocal music art with the audience.
