somebody PLEASE add more information. I just don't have time. Maybe list the roles she's played and a short biography

Fact error: When I read http://www.evermore.com/azo/c_bios/floyd.php3 I see that Susannah was premiered before Fleming was born! "Floyd completed his opera Susannah , which first premiered at Florida State in 1955 and later at the New York City Opera in 1956." // 213.114.226.208 18:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

  • According to the Biography from iClassics included on http://www.renee-fleming.com/ it was not the world premiere of Susannah that is being referred to, but the Lyric Opera of Chicago's first performances, as the article states. So there is no contradiction, only a phrasing that might lead to the misconception you've picked up. JGF Wilks 14:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whistle Register

She sings in the whistle register doesn't she? I think I heard her singing Magical Flute thing.

Is it accurate to say she is a jazz singer?

I don't think so, she dabbles in jazz ala kiri te kanawa, but i think she is an opera singer still :) Gareth E Kegg 10:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
