Renée Fleming

To me, Renée Fleming is the rare classical artist who refused to stay inside the opera house. Rising from a small Pennsylvania town to the world's great stages, she has won five Grammys and earned both the National Medal of Arts and a Kennedy Center Honor, yet what impresses me most is her curiosity. She sings at state occasions, in film, and in research crossovers on music and the brain, treating her gift as something to share rather than guard. That generosity, paired with a luminous soprano, is exactly why I think she belongs among the genuine ambassadors of her art.
