The Moores School of Music at the University of Houston presents the AMERICAN OPERA FESTIVAL, featuring the opera Amelia. Music by Daron Hagen. Libretto by Gardner McFall. Story by Stephen Wadsworth.

Haunted by her father’s death when he was a pilot in the Vietnam War, a woman comes to terms with the ghosts of her past, the dream of flight, and the hope of being reborn. Anyone who has ever had a parent or who has ever had a child will not fail to be moved by this soaring and lyrical opera.

Premiered in 2010 by the Seattle Opera, we are proud to present its second production. Amelia is being presented, in part, with a generous grant from The Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts.

Buck Ross, producer/director
Brett Mitchell,* music director

Sung in the original English with English surtitles.

Running in rotating repertory with Tartuffe.
