Renee Fleming's album is not only crossing the grain of her career because of the change in genres, but also because of the age at which she is attempting a cross over album. Born on February 14, 1959 and raised in Rochester, New York, this American singer grew up and attended Juilliard where she sang at the Juilliard Opera Center. She dabbled with jazz as well, but her international status as a musical virtuoso came as a soprano with unlimited range at the opera houses across the globe.

Her big break came in 1988 at the age of 29. She won the coveted Metropolitan Opera Auditions. This triumph led to countless roles at major concert houses over the next couple of years, including as Mimi in La Boheme at the New York City Opera.

She is introducing herself to a whole new generation and a completely new genre with this new album. Dark Hope will certainly draw a new audience for her as she takes to her concert tour to promote the new album.
