Amelia Island Opera (AIO), an artist-led company, was founded in 2021 by opera singers Victoria Isernia, Robyn Marie Lamp and John Tibbetts II. When these three talented vocalists found themselves grounded as the COVID-19 pandemic froze everyone in place, they made their way to Amelia Island, Fla. There they found an arts-friendly community hungry to welcome more classical vocal music to Northeast Florida. Early performances were greeted with great enthusiasm. The three founders recognized a need to create opportunities not only for themselves but also for other world-class emerging artists. Amelia Island offers a perfect place, given the amount of arts & culture organizations supported by the community. AIO is committed to expanding its region's support for vocal music, increased opportunity for performers, and more community and regional performances.
AIO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of Amelia Island Opera are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
