Summary: "Menotti: Amahl and the Night Visitors" For those of you who aren't familiar with the piece, it is a one-act opera, sung in English, that tells a sort of Holiday Tale taking place in the Holy Land around the time of Christ's birth. As the title suggests, a young cripple shepherd (Amahl) and his mother are visited by three Kings (the very Kings of the Gospel) on their way to see the Blessed Child. As in any good tale, there is a good mix of tragedy and magic, along with a miraculous and fitting ending.
