I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. Its a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether its a great date or something thats just hugely romantic. – Renee Fleming
Being steeped in the process of learning and exploring keeps me from becoming too nervous. Partly its about not getting bored. – Renee Fleming
