Amahl and the Night Visitors is the story of a young, crippled boy, Amahl, and the miracle of Love that
cures him.
Since its first performance on Christmas Eve, 1951, Amahl and the Night Visitors has taken its place with
A Christmas Carol as a holiday classic. Peformed on every continent and in many languages, it has been
seen by more people than any other opera in history.
In this warm and compassionate story, Gian Carlo Menotti has captured the essential spirit of Christmas.
At its premiere, The New York Times called Amahl "rare art. . . tender and exquisite."
