Seeking strong female role, Fleming turns to life of O'Keeffe

Tired of an opera repertoire in which women are so often portrayed as young and vulnerable, Renee Fleming is premiering an original piece on Georgia O'Keeffe, the painter whose life was momentous and multi-dimensional. "Letters from Georgia," a song cycle by rising composer Kevin Puts, works off the correspondence of the groundbreaking painter, mostly with photographer Alfred Stieglitz, whom she would eventually marry. It's a man's imagination that's projected on her that makes her human -- that's typically what art has been," Fleming told AFP as she rehearsed the piece with Puts on piano in her sun-swept Manhattan penthouse. http://dlvr.it/MbpP65 Source: Yahoo News
