Renée Fleming and the Emerson String Quartet: Walker, Wernick, Barber, and Previn

July 24, 2019
3A W Hawthorne Rd, Lenox, MA 01240, USA

The ever-enterprising Renée Fleming, accompanied by the Emerson String Quartet, takes on her second world premiere in a single week: Penelope, by Tom Stoppard and the late André Previn. Based on the Odyssey, this concise “opera of sorts” stands as one of the composer’s final utterances. Uma Thurman narrates. —M.G.
