Got this from Wikipedia:
"Amahl and the Night Visitors is an opera in one act by Gian Carlo Menotti with an original English libretto by the composer. It was first performed on 24 December 1951 in New York City, at the NBC studios, where it was broadcast on television as the debut production of the Hallmark Hall of Fame. It was the first opera specifically composed for television in America[1]. The opera is now a popular Christmas classic."
As the holiday season draws near amid grim economic conditions, this gentle little opera about a lame boy who meets up with the Three Kings will warm the heart and inspire even the most cynical among us.
Glad you included this. Nice to be able to tell potential audience members!
