What to expect
Rita follows a spirited innkeeper juggling two husbands who unexpectedly collide, paired with Bach's own comic take on a daughter's coffee habit driving her father up the wall. Amelia Island Opera is an artist-led company founded in 2021 by singers Victoria Isernia, Robyn Marie Lamp, and John Tibbetts II, built to create stages for emerging opera talent on the island. This performance opens Season Six, which continues into 2027 with more productions to follow.
