Soprano Renée Fleming recently made a successful transition to Broadway, receiving a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, in “Carousel.” She has a new album titled “Renée Fleming Broadway” (on Decca), and the collection is unusually adventurous.
Fleming is, of course, at home in roles played by Barbara Cook (“Dear Friend” from “She Loves Me” and “Till There Was You” from “The Music Man”), which require a sweet soprano sound.
