\u201cI don\u2019t want to hit people over the head and make them sorry they came to the concert,\u201d Renee Fleming said with a smile, \u201cBut I do want a sort of collective \u2018We love the planet.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The American soprano<\/span> was talking about Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene,<\/em> the title of her 2021 album and \u201cRenee Fleming: Voice of Nature\u201d, the concert she was performing in Hong Kong.<\/div>\n

At 66, Fleming has lost none of the beauty and glamour which, combined with her exquisite voice and dramatic ability, has made her one of the world\u2019s greatest opera stars. She seems indefatigable \u2013 the city was the second stop in Asia following Shanghai \u2013 and she gave three lectures in Hong Kong in addition to her two concerts.<\/p>\n

What drives her is her desire to bring home the message about sustainability and biodiversity, she said.<\/p>\n

The Voice of Nature<\/em> project began as an album which she created with Canadian conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin<\/span> at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/div>\n

Fleming had always been interested in how so much of the great poetry of the 19th century had framed the human condition through the lens of nature, and then set to music, she said. Yet later art songs tend to deal with other subjects. \u201cSo I wanted to compare our relationship with nature in that period with now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
