The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) has announced that soprano Renée Fleming will perform at the 2025 Princeton Festival on Saturday, June 7 in a concert led by music director Rossen Milanov.

Fleming’s appearance is part of the annual festival’s opening weekend. This year’s event, on the grounds of Morven Museum and Garden, runs June 6-21.

“Renée Fleming is an extraordinary artist, beloved by audiences around the world,” said PSO Executive Director Marc Uys. “It is a singular honor to present her at the Princeton Festival. Hearing her voice in the intimate setting of our Festival pavilion, surrounded by the beautiful gardens and summer evening sky, will be pure magic.”

Fleming has performed on the stages of the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls. Honored with five Grammy awards and the US National Medal of Arts, she has sung for occasions ranging from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Super Bowl.

An anonymous, longtime supporter of the festival has put forth a challenge match. From now until March 15, new and increased donations to the Princeton Festival will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000, allowing donors to double their impact. Gifts at any level are welcome.

The festival includes three weekends of opera, concerts, and dance, with additional music-filled evenings and ancillary events during the week. The complete performance lineup will be posted online, with tickets going on sale Wednesday, February 19, at 10 a.m. by phone at (609) 497-0200, and online at princetonsymphony.org/festival.
