To me, listening to American opera soprano Renée Fleming’s voice is like being in a Boeing 757 during takeoff. Those twin Rolls-Royce engines each deliver sixty thousand pounds of thrust and you’re pinned back against your seat. As you leave contact with mother earth, you’re thinking “what a marvelous machine this is that can transport all of us, together, into the stratosphere.”
