Tickets for Renee Fleming's Dec. 17 recital at the Lyric Opera House on sale July 15
Tickets for Renee Fleming's Dec. 17 recital at the Lyric Opera House will go on sale July 15.
The golden-toned, glamorous soprano will be accompanied by pianist Gerald M. Moore in what is being described as "a recital of operatic arias."
More detailed programming is expected by September.
The Lyric's management and the newly formed Lyric Opera Foundation will use proceeds from the Fleming concert "to support The Lyric in presenting grand opera and to provide educational activities throughout the state,” as well as community outreach projects, according to a press release that quotes Ed Brody, chairman of the Lyric's board of trustees.
Tickets for the recital are priced from ...
$30 to $125.
They'll be available at the Lyric box office starting at 10 a.m. July 15, and by phone at 410-900-1150 and 410-547-7328, as well as ticketmaster.

As a "lieder-lover," my jaw dropped when I saw the name of the pianist. Then, I was thinking, "How old must he be -- isn't he dead?" Obviously, this is another Gerald Moore, whose name doesn't yield anything (but this post ;^) on Ye Olde Google. Any background info on him? (And I'm sure that I'm not the first person of similar interests to do a double-tripe-sextuple-take. %^)
The first time I saw his name in association with this recital, it did give me pause. Subsequently, I've learned that he is a noted vocal coach and accompanist. And no relation, as far as I know.TIM

will this be just her with the piano accompaniment or will there be an orchestra?
Just piano, which will be an interesting test of the Lyric's acoustics. TS
