About this Event
Menotti Double Bill - Amahl & the Night Visitors and The Telephone
DON’T MISS THIS CHRISTMAS DOUBLE BILL WITH A DIFFERENCE. ENJOY TWO TALES FULL OF FUN, MUSIC AND FROLICS WITH THESE TWO MAGICAL
OPERAS. SUNG IN ENGLISH AND PERFORMED BY OPERA ANYWHERE, THEY ARE THE PERFECT FOR ALL THE FAMILY!
The Telephone
The Telephone, or L'Amour à Trois is an English-language comic opera in one act by Gian Carlo Menotti, both words and music. It was written for production by the Ballet Society and was first presented on a double bill with Menotti's The Medium at the Heckscher Theater, New York City, February 18–20, 1947. The Telephone provides a perfect prelude to Amahl & The Night Visitors.
Amahl & The Night Visitors
This is the tender, heart-warming story of Amahl, a poor shepherd boy, and his devoted mother. They are visited one night by three kings, who are following a star on their way to see the baby Jesus. It’s a knock at the door that will change their lives forever. Amahl and the Night Visitors was originally written for television in 1951 and has since become an annual tradition in the USA – becoming one of the most frequently performed operas of the 20th century.
