Khaleem reports that Diva Renee Fleming has been persuaded to do the "impossible," and closer to home too!! The founding partners, board of directors, the executive board, the production and creative teams, the legal department, rank-and-file employees, interns and migrant workers of the
Diaries have
campaigned vigorously for these developments from the very outset. Now her priestess (slated also for
Zurich) will be but a short Amtrak ride away from the Met, where
current plans to resurrect the opera need a savior. (
OMFG Jimmy, we love you!!)

funny Renee quote over at
litwit about singing in La Scala.]
