SUMMARY:Story & Song Concert Series: The Telephone/Craigslistlieder
DESCRIPTION:Two clever works anchor the program: Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Telephone (1947) and Gabriel Kahane’s Craigslistlieder (2006). Local favorite Bill Ivins brings his artistic eye to the direction\, seamlessly weaving these two pieces together. Accompanying the evening on the iconic Story & Song piano is Amelia Island Opera’s Season 5 Music Director\, Keith Chambers. \nIn The Telephone\, Ben — sung by AIO Co-Founder and Artistic Director John Tibbetts — tries to propose to his girlfriend Lucy\, played by returning company favorite Kyaunnee Richardson. But Lucy’s constant phone chatter keeps getting in the way. With his train departure looming\, Ben is forced to use the very device that’s been disrupting their time together. Full of charm and satire\, this one-act opera is a light-hearted commentary on how technology can complicate even our most heartfelt intentions. \nAfter intermission\, Richardson and Tibbetts are joined by tenor Dylan Elza\, a rising talent whose charisma and vocal agility bring fresh energy to the stage. Together\, they perform Craigslistlieder\, a contemporary song cycle that sets real Craigslist ads to music. Composer Gabriel Kahane transforms these quirky digital missives into surprisingly moving and often laugh-out-loud portraits of modern loneliness\, hope\, and human eccentricity. \nTogether\, these two works offer a comic\, clever\, and refreshingly modern take on love in the wired world — where connection is just a ring or a click away.

SUMMARY:Cumberland Island Tour
DESCRIPTION:Step into the rich history and wild beauty of Amelia Island and Cumberland Island on this narrated sightseeing adventure. This 2.5‑hour cruise is the most immersive river tour in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia\, guiding you along the shorelines of two enchanting islands in two different states. \nLed by our fun\, knowledgeable U.S. Coast Guard–certified captains\, the tour takes you farther north than any of our other excursions. As you glide through local waterways\, you’ll uncover stories of Fernandina’s shrimping past\, pass a real Civil War–era fort\, and learn about sacred lands and the Gilded Age mansions once owned by the Rockefellers and Carnegies. You’ll even hear fascinating insights about Kings Bay Naval Base\, home to Ohio‑class nuclear submarines—a favorite highlight for\nhistory lovers and curious minds. \nWildlife is at the heart of this experience. Keep an eye out for playful dolphins\, wild horses roaming the beaches\, soaring eagles\, alligators\, sea turtles\, and an incredible variety of coastal birds. Every trip brings new surprises along the shoreline\, but what truly sets this tour apart is the relaxed\, spacious atmosphere and the freedom to bring your own beverages—including alcohol. It’s the perfect blend of history\, nature\, and pure discovery\, all within one of the most scenic and\nbiodiverse ecosystems in the Southeast. \nNOTE: Please check the Amelia River Cruises website for available times/dates.
