This is why we ♥ Renée Fleming: She steps onto the stage in front of 4,000 people…very light stage makeup, just a pair of falsies, and lip gloss -- and maybe a few fillers (just saying, but we wouldn’t pass them up either) and looks as fresh faced as if sitting down to Sunday brunch at the Nevis Four Seasons. Keepin it realio.
Here she (above and below) is as Desdemona in Verdi's Otello, which opened at the Metropolitan Opera earlier this week. The Bernheimer’s review is short & v. sweet, while in the 'sphere, they're discussing it on Parterre, Sarah B., and Sieglinde.
