Amahl and the Night Visitors
December 13 – 23, 2009
Composed and Written by Gian Carlo Menotti
Produced in association with the
Georgia State University School of Music
Haunting and vivid musical interpretations capture the humble life of a crippled child and his impoverished mother and describe one mesmerizing evening when traveling magi from the East mysteriously seek rest with them. Among the unforgettable songs are Don’t Cry Mother Dear; From Far Away We Come; Good Evening!; Come In!; Have You Seen a Child?; Dance of the Shepherds; and All That Gold. In one night’s brief encounter, gifts both spiritual and material are bestowed on Amahl, who is miraculously healed and able to join the kings on their quest to find the Christ child. This introduction to opera is in English and only 50 minutes in length.
Performances of Amahl and the Night Visitors are:
7:30 pm on Thurs., Dec. 17, Fri., Dec. 18, Sat., Dec. 19,
and Tues., Dec. 22
2:30 pm on Sun., Dec. 13, Sat., Dec. 19, Sun., Dec. 20,
and Wed., Dec. 23
* For all ages.
