"And the people stayed home" Poem by Kitty O'Meara, music by John Corigliano, sung by Renée Fleming 

My 1.5 year old son and I saw you perform tonight in Palm Beach. He’s a huge fan of yours and 100% the reason we attended. Wish we had gotten to meet you, saw you getting in the elevator but we were too far away to catch up in time. Wanted to thank you for a fantastic show. He enjoyed it so very much! During your dance all night encore he was swinging his arms around and clapping haha. Very grateful for the wonderful memories :)

Renee, your voice has been a force for peace and comfort throughout my life, expressing as it does the full facet of human emotions. Thank you so, so much and more, please. We need this xoxox

A sacred moment to hear this premiered just now. Normally I’d want to jump out of my chair and shout, “Brava. Brava” with an audience-after a long pause-for such an exquisite performance. Not this time. Just a simple thank you, Renée and John, for validating the current human experience with music that touched my soul. It feel like this song grew out of the earth. And thank you, Kitty, for the lovely poem. God bless. -Gwendolyn Soper, Utah (I once met you and your adorable dad, Renée, at the Salt Lake conference center in the green room. Maybe 2005? It was after your Christmas performance. I gifted you my handmade Christmas ornament (a tiny matchbox with a family sleeping inside, and a charicature of you singing on a mountaintop. Stay well.

Thank you Renée. Greetings from Holland 🌷🌷🌷🌷
