Wow. From the opening sentence where she thanks her dear friend Ann Patchett (who knew?) to the backstage “tour” of the Met, this was a delight. I knew I loved her voice. I had no idea she was so funny. Every soprano should read this, but so should anyone else who loves music. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Renee Fleming is my favorite singer. Ever.❤️ And I have been so lucky to hear her sing live TWICE in my own wonderful hometown of Iowa City. Tonight I'm pretty much *ded* of her awesome (the guy is her pianist, Hartmut Höll, and he's pretty rad as well).

And don't worry, I had her book signed last time she sang here. In 2006. Along with six of my CDs. ?? (I had 9 more with me tonight, but I picked my favorite 4 so I wouldn't hold up the line)

LauraBrook She is amazing, and her pianist is astounding!!! 8y
