Francesco's Notes - Last in the Amahl Series

This concludes our interviews with Francesco regarding AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS. He has been the driving force behind this production.
Q: When we started this series of interviews, you mentioned that you've always wanted to bring Amahl and the Night Visitors to St. Mel. Are you pleased with your decision to finally bring this opera to the parish on Dec. 20 and 21, 2008?
Francesco: As we begin the technical and dress rehearsal process, and I see what it's going to look like, I keep thinking what a treat people are in for. I don't think there's ever been a production of this magnitude in the church at St. Mel.
I have to say a final word of thanks to all those who have stepped up to help us and have stayed joyful through it all. After all of the tumult of this past year I decided that we needed to do something really joyful. Something that would create a sense of pride in the parish and build community, and remind us of what's really important!
And remember not to miss the truly miraculous things in our lives, while we keep our eye on the "Star".
