Awards and reviews
December 2018
Curbing that opulent operatic soprano, pulling back on the head-voice and dropping the centre of gravity to more conversational tone in the middle range is key…and she’s home free, swooning portamento and all...It’s interesting that the numbers in which she opts for a jazzy take feel most comfortable…Not everything convinces me but there’s enough here that does – and her love for the repertoire is palpable.
Opera Now January 2019
...an interesting selection of beautifully arranged numbers; Fleming inventively avoids the obvious, with selections ranging from Cole Porter’s 1936 Red, Hot and Blue to Dear Evan Hansen
