Superstar vocalist Renée Fleming transforms the McCoy stage into a breathtaking soundscape in “Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene,” inspired by her 2023 Grammy Award-winning album. The first half of the program includes stunning National Geographic visuals alongside Fleming’s golden voice in a spellbinding celebration of our natural world. The second half celebrates the traditional operatic repertoire. This special performance includes an eclectic mix of arias by Handel and Puccini, music from Lord of the Rings and Carousel, contemporary hits by Björk, Kevin Puts and Nico Muhly, and selections by famed film composer Ennio Morricone.
All ticket price levels for Renée Fleming are currently available with subscription packages. VIP tickets ($225) include a post-concert meet-and-greet with Ms. Fleming, and champagne and dessert reception. Single tickets for this concert are now available.
