“Amahl And Night Visitors”
To Be Presented This Week
“Amahl and the Night Visitors,” will be the first opera presented at West Geoi>
gia College by the college’s choir, under the brilliant direction of Mr .Hugh Deen, As
sociate Professor of Music. The first perfermanee will be held 11:00 a.yn., December
6, in the West Georgia College Auditorium.
This opera was especially com
missioned for television, and
was given its first world pre
miere by the ABC television
theater on Christmas eve, 1951,
under the direction of its com
poser, Gian-Carlo Menatti.
In 1951 Menatti was commis
sioned to write the opera, with
Christmas as a deadline. He was
void of original ideas. On a trip
through the Metropolitan Muse
um he chanced to stop before
the Adoration of the Three Kings
by Hieronymus Bosch, and as
he looked he heard again the
weird songs of the Three Kings
coming from the distant hills.
The Three Kings had come back
and brought him a gift.
In a nut-shell, this is the story
of the Kings on their journey
to find the baby Jesus, and of
the events occurring when they
stop to rest at the poor home
of Amahl and his mother. The
boy, crippled from birth, is the
focal point of the opera, and
the high moment occurs when
through a miracle of love the
shepherd boy walks for the first
time after offering the one pos
session he has, his self-made
crutch, to the Kings to be
