Renée Fleming Schmoozes Daniel Radcliffe & Juan Diego Flórez

The opera soprano did double-duty on Saturday (March 19). First she hosted the Metropolitan Opera's "Live in HD" series broadcast of Lucia di Lammermoor during the afternoon. One of the highlights during the second intermission was when Fleming was joined by renowned Rossini-specialist Juan Diego Flórez. The tenor appeared in a tight leather jacket and talked about how sexy his upcoming production of Le Comte Ory is going to be, so sexy in fact that at one point Renée started singing "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life." That evening she attended the Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. After the performance she joined Katie Couric and Charles Robbins to visit with the star of the show Daniel Radcliffe. I suspect the backstage event may have been more for the benefit of Fleming and Couric's young teen daughters who also attended. More pictures after the jump. [Source]
