Renée Fleming, known as “The Beautiful Voice” and “Diva of the Future,” has won a new whaddyacallit, a new, uh, sobriquet.

Courtesy of commenter Camille, Ms. Fleming will henceforth be known as “Opera MILF.”

(At last night’s 125th Anniversary Gala, La Fleming rocked “a costume based on the one worn by Maria Jeritza for [Die Tote Stadt‘s] U.S. premiere in 1921.  Photo: Ken Howard/Metropolitan Opera.)

More photos from the gala may be found on the Met’s website.
