Renee Fleming Coming to The Music Hall

The Music Hall will have four time Grammy Award winner Renée Fleming live on stage at the Historic Theater. "Hearing Renee sing on stage is a remarkable opportunity for Seacoast audiences," says The Music Hall's Executive Director Patricia Lynch. "Among the qualities that make her so special is the thrilling charisma of her voice, and the way she conveys the emotions of a song. She also has an accessibility uncommon to an opera diva-when you hear her sing, it feels like she is singing directly to you. It feels very personal."

One of the most beloved and celebrated musical ambassadors of our time, soprano Renée Fleming captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. President Obama awarded Ms. Fleming the National Medal of Arts, America's highest honor for an individual artist. She is the winner of the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Solo. She brings her amazing talent to the Music Hall stage with songs from the Great American Songbook and a repertoire of Classical favorites. Don't miss your chance to see this opera singer extraordinaire in a classic opera house.

The Music Hall is a performing arts center featuring curated entertainment from around the world in two theaters in its downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire campus - one, a landmark 1878 Victorian theater, designated an American Treasure for the Arts by the National Park Service's Save America's Treasures Program, the other the intimate Music Hall Loft around the corner, recently named "best performing arts venue" by Yankee Magazine and the recipient of the NH AIA award for design excellence.

With acclaimed signature series including Writers on a New England Stage - a partnership between The Music Hall and New Hampshire Public Radio - and the Intimately Yours music series, we bring top authors and artists to both stages. Also, HD broadcasts from The Metropolitan Opera and the National Theatre of London as well as extraordinary cinema fill both screens almost every night of the year.

This dynamic arts center urges patrons to Explore + Learn via master classes, post film panel discussions, and matinees for children. An anchor cultural organization in this historic working seaport, The Music Hall is one of downtown Portsmouth's biggest employers and largest contributors to the regional economy: The Music Hall and its patrons contribute $7.1 million annually to the local economy through show and visitor related spending.

Innovative in its outlook, the organization is community oriented and committed to making the Seacoast flourish. The Music Hall is a 501(c)3 nonprofit managed by a professional staff with the assistance of a volunteer board. Though global in the scope of its artists and programs, The Music Hall operates independently with the support of 3,000 members, 300 corporate partners and 58 community partner organizations. Welcoming more than 100,000 patrons (including 20,000 children) each year from the tri-state area and beyond, The Music Hall is the region's center for the performing arts, literature and education...easy to get to, impossible to forget.
