Music reviews of Menotti: Amahl and the Night Visitors
Music Review: Brought back Christmas memories
Rating: 5 Stars
I saw the first Amahl performance on TV 58 years ago. It was repeated each year for a number of years and then it disappeared. I finally discovered the existance of this DVD and was delighted to buy it for my own. It is wonderful to learn that the Mother, Rosemary Kuhlmann, is still alive. The interview with her is fun and it is great that it is included.

Title: AMAHL & THE NIGHT VISITORS-COM
Street Release Date: 07/16/1999
Genre: OPERA/OPERETTA
Back in the days when the forces that controlled television actually cared about art, it was perfectly normal to see original plays and live musical performances right in your living room. In 1950, Menotti was commissioned to write an opera for television, and on Christmas Eve, 1951, Amahl and the Night Visitors was performed by the NBC Television Theater. This recording, under the composer's personal direction, was made a few days later, and it remains the definitive version, even though the sound is very dated and rough in places. This story of a poor shepherd boy's encounter with three kings and the miraculous healing of his crippled leg when he offers his crutch as a gift has captured audiences around the world ever since its premiere. Its charming mix of tuneful melody, dancing rhythms, delightful choruses, humor and poignancy, and an English text makes this work immediately accessible to audiences of all ages and musical tastes. --David Vernier
