I first saw Renee in 1991 in New York as the Countess in Figaro, and so many other operas after. The French works included Manon, Thaïs, Faust, Louise. I last saw her just before the Pandemic at the New York Philharmonic with some contemporary songs.

Wonderful - really looking forward to watching the rest over the next few days. It’s amazing that she was at the height of her beauty at 49.

Yes she was amazingly beautiful :)

Renee is gorgeous and at 65 still sings beautifully. She is so smart and so kind. She has made opera history. She is the best.

She has lasted even until today because she knew how to say “no.” The interviewer asks her about Strauss’s Salome, and she responds that the music is incredible, but the orchestra is too strong for her voice, so she must say no. One French role she missed was Antonia in Les contes d’Hoffmann; can you imagine her gorgeous voice singing “Elle a fuit!”
