Opera at NJPAC Presents Renee Fleming

New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents an evening with Renée Fleming. Renée Fleming's radiant voice soars in songs and arias from France and Italy, plus Schumann's exquisite "A Woman's Life and Love," and selections from Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I. Pianist Gerald Martin Moore is accompanist.

Her voice is of uncommon radiance. The voice of our time. "America's reigning diva for more than a decade now. The Beautiful Voice soared, swelled and glistened in recital. (She) offered some of the shining freshness that grabbed everyone's attention when she was just coming onto the scene..." The Washington Post. Friday, November 4, 2016 8:00 PM at Prudential Hall.
