Soprano Tina O’Malley, winner of the 2026 Karin Larson YourClassical Prize, performs “When I Was a Little Girl” from Kamala Sankaram’s A.E. Reverie with pianist Carson Rose Schneider.
A.E. Reverie is a chamber opera that premiered as part of Chautauqua Opera’s 2024 season. It unfolds the night after aviator Amelia Earhart landed her plane at Chautauqua in 1929. After witnessing Earhart’s lecture, a young woman dreams of pursuing her own ambitions. O’Malley, seeing herself in the music, chose this piece for her winning entry.
