Renee Fleming will provide some fireworks of her own on July 4, singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” during “A Capitol Fourth,” the annual Independence Day celebration in Washington, D.C. The Rodgers and Hammerstein anthem is from her Tony-nominated performance this season in the Broadway revival of “Carousel.”
You can catch the performance by the opera star and Indiana, Pa., native when “A Capitol Fourth” airs live on WQED-TV and NPR stations from 8-9:30 p.m. She also has performed the song in a concert marking the anniversary of 9/11 and at the 2009 inaugural celebration concert for Barack Obama, who awarded her the National Medal for the Arts.
Ms. Fleming will be in Pittsburgh Sept. 15 for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra gala, with the theme “Voyage at Sea: A Passage to the Mediterranean.”
John Stamos is host of the Wednesday celebration, which includes John Williams and the National Symphony Orchestra, The Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffett and the Broadway cast of “Escape to Margaritaville,” Pentatonix, Andy Grammer, Chita Rivera, The Temptations, Luke Combs, Lauren Alaina, CeCe Winans Joshua Bell, Kyla Jade, Jack Everly, Patrick Lundy and the Ministers of Music, Choral Arts Society of Washington, the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets and the U.S. Army Presidential Salute Battery.
