ABOUT FIRST COAST OPERA
In January 2000, soprano Barbara Norris and her husband Anthony Fast produced a concert titled An Evening of Opera, leading to the formation of First Coast Opera in St. Augustine. Serving Northeast Florida’s First Coast region, the company began a series of concerts and staged productions of operas and operettas featuring local talent. Since that time, fully staged operas with live orchestras have been produced each year, with guest artists from throughout the United States.
