Renee Fleming

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Renee Fleming ma Pepeluali 14, 1959 ma Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA a ua ulu ʻo ia ma Rochester, New York. He kumu mele a himeni kona mau makua. Ua hele 'o ia i ke Kulanui Moku'āina o New York ma Potsdam, ua puka 'o ia ma 1981 me ke kēkelē ma ka ho'ona'auao mele. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i noʻonoʻo i kāna ʻoihana e hiki mai ana ma ka opera.

ʻOiai ʻo ia e aʻo ana i ke kulanui, hana ʻo ia i kahi hui jazz ma kahi pā kūloko. Ua hoihoi kona leo a me kona mau akamai i ka jazz saxophonist kaulana ʻo Jacquet, nāna i kono iā ia e mākaʻikaʻi me kāna hui nui. Akā, ua hele ʻo Rene i ke kula puka ma ke kula ʻo Eastman (conservatory) o ke mele, a laila mai 1983 a i 1987 i aʻo ʻia ma ke kula ʻo Juilliard (ke kula nui ʻAmelika o ka hoʻonaʻauao kiʻekiʻe ma ke kula kiʻi) ma New York.

I ka makahiki 1984, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi Fulbright Education Grant a hele i Kelemānia e aʻo i ka hīmeni ʻana, ʻo kekahi o kāna mau kumu ʻo Elisabeth Schwarzkopf kaao. Ua hoʻi ʻo Fleming i New York i ka makahiki 1985 a hoʻopau i kāna mau haʻawina ma ke kula ʻo Juilliard.

ʻOiai he haumana, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Renée Fleming i kāna ʻoihana ʻoihana ma nā hui opera liʻiliʻi a me nā kuleana liʻiliʻi. I ka makahiki 1986, ma ka Hale Keaka o ka Federal State (Salzburg, Austria), ua hīmeni ʻo ia i kāna hana nui mua - ʻo Constanza mai ka opera Abduction from the Seraglio na Mozart. ʻO ke kuleana o Constanza kekahi o nā mea paʻakikī loa i ka repertoire soprano, a ua ʻae ʻo Fleming iā ia iho e pono ana ʻo ia e hana i ka ʻenehana leo a me ka hana akamai. ʻElua makahiki ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 1988, ua lanakila ʻo ia i kekahi mau hoʻokūkū leo i ka manawa hoʻokahi: ʻo ka Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions hoʻokūkū no nā mea hoʻokani ʻōpio, ka makana ʻo George London a me ka hoʻokūkū Eleanor McCollum ma Houston. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻomaka ka mea mele i ka hana o ka Countess mai Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro ma Houston, a i ka makahiki aʻe ma New York Opera a ma ke kahua o Covent Garden ma ke ʻano he Mimi ma La bohème.

ʻO ka hana mua ma ka Metropolitan Opera i hoʻolālā ʻia no 1992, akā hāʻule ʻole i ka lā Malaki 1991, i ka wā i maʻi ai ʻo Felicity Lott, a ua pani ʻo Fleming iā ia ma ke ʻano o ka Countess ma Le nozze di Figaro. A ʻoiai ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia he soprano mālamalama, ʻaʻohe stardom i loko ona - hiki mai kēia ma hope, i ka wā i lilo ai ʻo ia i "Gold Standard of the soprano". A ma mua o kēlā, nui nā hana, nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa, nā hana like ʻole o ka spectrum operatic holoʻokoʻa, nā huakaʻi a puni ka honua, nā hoʻopaʻa leo, nā piʻi a me lalo.

ʻAʻole ʻo ia i makaʻu i ka pilikia a ua ʻae ʻo ia i nā luʻi, ʻo kekahi o ia ma 1997 ke kuleana o Manon Lescaut ma Jules Massenet ma ka Opéra Bastille ma Paris. Hoʻohanohano ka poʻe Farani i ko lākou hoʻoilina, akā ʻo ka hoʻokō pono ʻole o ka pāʻina i lanakila ai ʻo ia. ʻO ka mea i loaʻa i ka Farani ʻaʻole i hiki i ka poʻe Italia… Ua hoʻomākeʻaka ʻia ʻo Fleming ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia ma La Scala i 1998, ʻoiai ma kāna hana mua ma kēlā hale keaka i 1993, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Donna Elvira ma " Don Giovanni” na Mozart. Ua kapa ʻo Fleming i kahi hana 1998 ma Milan i kāna "pō pōʻino loa o ke ola operatic".

I kēia lā ʻo Renee Fleming kekahi o nā mele kaulana loa o ko mākou manawa. ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka haku leo ​​a me ka nani o ka timbre, stylistic versatility a me ka dramatic charisma e hana i kekahi hana iā ia i hanana nui. Hana maikaʻi ʻo ia i nā ʻāpana like ʻole e like me Verdi's Desdemona a me Handel's Alcina. Mahalo i kona ʻano ʻakaʻaka, wehe a me ka maʻalahi o ke kamaʻilio ʻana, kono mau ʻia ʻo Fleming e komo i nā papahana kīwī a me nā lekiō.

Aia i loko o ka discography a me DVD ka mea mele ma kahi o 50 album, me nā mele jazz. ʻEkolu o kāna mau album i lanakila i ka Grammy Award, ʻo Verismo ka hope loa (2010, he hōʻiliʻili o nā arias mai nā opera na Puccini, Mascagni, Cilea, Giordano a me Leoncavallo).

Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka papa hana hana a Renee Fleming no kekahi mau makahiki ma mua. Ma kāna ʻae ʻana, i kēia lā ua ʻoi aku kona makemake i ka hana ʻaha mele ma mua o ka opera.
