Renee Fleming singing "I can smell the sea air"

[@Josquinquin]

My heart aches for Blanche. Previn's music and Fleming's singing reduce me to tears. .. I wish Tennessee Williams had lived to hear this.

This brought tears to my eyes. What a voice! The greatest soprano of our time.

Renee: You make me cry in this part of the Previn's Opera. I Love You!!Incredible Diva!! I will never stop hearing you if I could. God Bless you Renee!!!

[@alvarito45]

You're absolutely right. I have the DVD . Excellent. Renee is unique!!!

[@Josquinquin]

I saw her sing this last night at Carnegie Hall. She take our breath away. I'll never forget it. The whole cast was superb. 3/14/13

NO ONE.No one else will be able to sing/act/fulfill this role quite like she did. No, wonder she took a break after singing this role.

It's available on DVD with Renee Fleming singing the lead role.

[@alvarito45]

Qué bello Renee!! hacía como una año que no te escuchaba. Un tranvía llamado Deseo: qué gran pieza. Y previn excelente en su versión de ópera. Brava Renee!!!!

[@absurdynka]

I just wish it was available in better quality or (just in dreams) I was able to listen to this piece live. But thanks for uploading, even youtube quality is good when you can't buy DVD :) P.S. I absolutely adore Renee - when it comes to opera she's my favourite.

[@alvarito45]

Bravissima Renee!!!!

[@mariliamesmo]

Maravilhosa!

[@missa10894]

Can someone tell me what this song is about please!? :) I

It’s Blanche, just before she is taken to the asylum, imagining being on the sea and dying on the ocean.

[@wannamlwithu]

from what year is this?? Renee is such a star!

[@alvarito45]

I don't understand why in the Kasan's film of "A Street Car Named Desire", this entire parliament was eliminated. I wonder if Jessica Lange says it i her re-make, 'cause I can not find the film. We have it in the Opera!!! Why not in the Kasan's movie?

[@HouseOnSunset]

Is this towards the end when Blanche goes insane?

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

Yes

I've just realised Renee looks like Reece Witherspoon. Only my God does she sing better!
