Amahl and the Night Visitors December 8, 2006

Opera Memphis presents a work that has become a beloved holiday tradition. The first opera written expressly for television, 'Amahl and the Night Visitors' by Gian Carlo Menotti, is only an hour in length. The one act opera with its beautiful score and touching libretto (the opera is sung in English) is appealing to all ages and musical backgrounds. It was written specifically for young imaginations which can easily relate to a child with a head full of dreams. It remains an inspiring story of how faith, charity, unselfish love and good deeds can work miracles.
