The 37th Annual Venice Italian Feast & Carnival, sponsored by the Italian American Club of Venice. E&V Italian American Show - Grand Opera, Musical Theater, the American Song Book – they sing it all! Married, singing duo – Vincent & Emily Ricciardi have performed together throughout the northeast. Their love of Puccini, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Mozart, & Gershwin is shared with their audiences in each show. This husband and wife team met in 2008 when they fell in love during a production of The Pirates of Penzance. In 2013, they tied the knot and continue to make beautiful music together.
Vincent & Emily's performances highlight some of the most famous artists’ repertoires of the 20th Century – Mario Lanza, Julie Andrews, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion... and many more! Their performance together on stage always touches audiences and warms the heart.
Nino Pantano of the Italian Voice stated that Vincent & Emily are “two of the most promising and talented performers today. Vincent Ricciardi’s lyric tenor is blessed with a smooth and easy top and gives the listener much to savor. Emily Wright-Ricciardi's secure and saucy soprano was a model of elegance."
They are joined by Christina Janine Solis. Christina Janine is a captivating vocal talent, with roots in the world’s entertainment capital — New York City. A multi-talented artist, Christina is not only an accomplished singer and songwriter but also a seasoned professional ballroom dancer.
Renowned for her smooth, soulful voice and magnetic stage presence, she effortlessly draws audiences in, leaving a lasting impression wherever she performs.
For over a decade Christina has graced stages across the country, from intimate jazz clubs to high-profile private events at iconic venues such as the Ritz-Carlton and the Plaza Hotel, entertaining guests throughout NYC and the tri-state area.
Christina honed her craft studying Jazz and Commercial Music in Long Island, developing a deep love for the Great American Songbook and classic jazz. Her performance journey has taken her from the energy of the Big Apple to the warmth of Florida — where she relocated in November 2025 — and she continues to enchant audiences with her timeless sound and deep passion for music.
