The annual Rieman Opera Competition celebrates the legacy of Amelia Tataronis Rieman, a devoted patron of opera and education whose generous endowment continues to uplift vocal excellence at the University of Arizona. Open to both undergraduate and graduate voice students, the competition awards scholarships to emerging opera talent. A passionate lover of music with a remarkable life story marked by perseverance and philanthropy, Mrs. Rieman established this competition—and later the Rieman Chair in Opera—to ensure ongoing support for student performers, master classes, and high-quality productions. Her vibrant spirit and enduring generosity continue to inspire our community.
