Renee Fleming Want Quotations

A lot of performers don't want to leave the circuit, the European opera house circuit, partly because most singers don't sing many concerts, or at least not while they are in their prime.

I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.

I don't want to be somebody who stands still and sings pretty. Each song is a world. Each song is a story. I don't achieve nearly what I want.

It is our responsibility to learn how to speak to an audience that is less informed about music, to give it a reason to want to come and see us instead of going to the movies.

I want to keep my voice young, with nothing heavy.

I want to get out of the major opera houses.
