A love affair between two artists who share a gift for letter-writing. And then a wonderfully devised celebration of Broadway classics.Talk about a study in contrasts. You could not have found a more ideal example of just such a pairing of personalities and styles than the unusual concert performed last week on the Lyric Opera stage by the golden-voiced soprano Renee Fleming and baritone Rod Gilfry, both of whom can shift easily between opera and musical theater.
The handwritten letters between the two , were projected on a screen above the orchestra, along with pictures of many of O'Keeffe's magnificent paintings and Stieglitz's black and white photographs of the woman whom he adored, and married in 1924 after divorcing his first wife.
Of course it was perfectly fine that in the second half of the program — which embodied the glow of Broadway by means of a wonderful collection of nine musical theater classics and a few rarities — Fleming arrived in a spectacular gown of glittery gold that had the audience applauding loudly at first glimpse.
