Renee Fleming got a ten minute ovation for this aria at the Met. The best I ever heard.

Fleming is a great teacher, love the way she addresses the technical details.

[@SingerGeneLeonard]

Everyone has been spectacular but that tenor is Awesome!

[@socratease4645]

Like her as teacher

Muito bom.

When Renee talks about doing the plank on the floor, does she mean positioned with elbows on the floor

[@MrTonyInchpractice]

I think she means a still push-up position. U could push against a wall, too.

[@popaganda919]

i didn't know Adele is an opera singer

[@perhegg]

Funny that she talks about knödel when she uses it all the time herself!!

[@SilvaMorasten]

I'm thinking the same. Although her knödel doesn't sound ungly to me, to my ears it's like it even makes her voice warm and emotional..

[@vvalery1522]

I think that the difference is Ms Fleming purposely uses knödel whereas ( speaking as a student myself) the student isn’t always aware of what exactly they are doing/overusing and being made aware can help with interpretation.
