Step into a world of elegance, artistry, and pure musical magic as the legendary Renée Fleming makes her Koerner Hall debut in a spectacular gala event - the most anticipated cultural evening of the season!

For those who seek the ultimate gala experience, an exclusive pre-concert cocktail reception and exquisite dinner set the stage for an unforgettable evening. This is the only way to secure the finest seats in Koerner Hall, offering unparalleled views and an opportunity to celebrate in the company of fellow arts patrons—all in support of The Royal Conservatory’s mission to develop human potential through leadership in music and the arts.

An Unforgettable Concert with a Living Legend

Renée Fleming is a force of nature, a once-in-a-generation soprano whose voice has enchanted audiences from the world’s grandest opera houses to the halls of Buckingham Palace and the Nobel Prize ceremony. For this extraordinary evening, she performs a breathtaking program drawn from her Grammy Award-winning album, exploring the deep and evolving relationship between music and nature. From the soaring beauty of Handel to the hypnotic sounds of Björk and the cinematic grandeur of The Lord of the Rings, this performance is a genre-defying journey like no other - heightened by a stunning National Geographic film projected above the stage.

A Symphony of Talent: The Royal Conservatory Orchestra

Fleming will be accompanied by our own acclaimed Royal Conservatory Orchestra (RCO), an ensemble widely regarded as one of the finest training orchestras in North America. Part of the Temerty Orchestral Program at The Glenn Gould School (GGS), the RCO is composed of exceptional instrumental students in the undergraduate and graduate programs of GGS. Alumni of this prestigious ensemble have gone on to join some of the greatest orchestras in the world.
