Renée Fleming Will Make Her Broadway Debut in 'Living on Love' in April, Written by Joe DiPietro and Directed by Kathleen Marshall
Grammy Award-winning opera singer Renée Fleming will make her Broadway debut this spring in a new play titled "Living on Love," a comedy based on none other then an opera diva, according to "The New York Times."In "Living on Love," Fleming will play opera singer Raquel De Angelis, whose conductor-husband starts to fall for a woman hired to ghostwrite his long-delayed autobiography. She retaliates by hiring her own ghostwriter but also gets romantically attached.Fleming will only sing a little in the play, some improvised a cappella.“I’ve spent my life singing tragic characters, so to be able to make people laugh is an extraordinary joy,” said Fleming.Written by Tony Award winner Joe DiPietro ("Memphis"), Living is based on the play "Peccadillo" by Garson Kanin.
