Fleming made her Chicago debut in 1993 in the title role of Carlisle Floyd’s “Susannah” and went on to perform numerous operas with the company including “Faust,” “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Alcina,” “Otello,” “Thaïs,” “La Traviata,” “A Streetcar Named Desire,” Capriccio,” and “The Merry Widow.” She also performed galas with the likes of Jonas Kaufmann, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and Susan Graham.
She currently serves as the company’s Creative Consultant and was the force behind the world premiere of “Bel Canto.”
This season, Fleming will travel to Spain, France, and the Netherlands for recitals and will return to Paris as a featured soloist in a concert with the Orchestre de Paris under Jaap Van Zweden.
