Fully-staged, sung in English accompanied by the Opus Concert Theatre Chamber Orchestra, we proudly present Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors. A poor widow and her young disabled son, Amahl, are on the verge of starvation, when a knock at the door reveals Three Kings, each bearing gifts as they follow the star in the East. When Amahl and his mother learn the purpose of their journey, lives are changed forever. Each show includes an entertaining pre-show lecture, and a meet and greet the artists afterwards. Let us be a part of your Holiday Celebration. Three Venues, Five Performances!
