As a special treat for our ACMS community, Amelia Classical Music Series is delighted to present an added operatic program this season—
✨ INCANTO: An Afternoon at the Opera ✨
Following the success of last May’s best-selling operatic concert, Incanto brings together five internationally acclaimed artists for an unforgettable afternoon of beloved arias, duets, and ensembles from the operatic repertoire.
Featuring
• Viktor Antipenko, tenor (Metropolitan Opera, Sydney Opera House, Atlanta Opera)
• Daniel Sutin, baritone (Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Metropolitan Opera)
• Monika Krajewska (Palm Beach Opera, Weimar Music Festival)
• Teryn Kuzma (Spoleto Festival, Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival)
• Zhanna Alkhazova (Sarasota Opera, Carnegie Stern Hall)
• Mark Cogley, Pianist

This concert also marks ACMS’s debut at the beautiful Hoffman Auditorium, an intimate and acoustically rich space—perfect for the passion, drama, and emotional power of opera.
We are grateful for the generous support of our community sponsors, Solinsky EyeCare and Duncaster, whose commitment to the arts helps make this concert possible.
