Share this event:


Based on Italian folk tales of the Nativity and Epiphany, Gian Carlo Menottis Amahl and the Night Visitors is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a young disabled boy named Amahl, who lives in poverty with his widowed mother near Bethlehem. He sees a bright star in the sky one night and tells his mother to go look, but she brushes him off, buried in concern over their bleak future and lack of means with which to support themselves. That night, three kings come across their meager hut and seek shelter, for they have traveled long and far following the star of which Amahl had spoken. They bring with them treasure and gifts to give to the Child who has just been born and who will reign over all. Blinded by the lure of the gold and what it could do for her family. the Mother attempts to steal just a bit of the treasure, but is caught red-handed. What no one expects is a gift far greater than gold--blessed by the Child, Amahl finds himself suddenly cured of his disability. A vivid and accessible tale originally created for television, Amahl and the Night Visitors is a perfect first opera--or hundredth!

Inspiré des contes populaires italiens de la Nativité et de l'Épiphanie, Amahl et les visiteurs de nuit de Gian Carlo Menotti raconte l'histoire des mages du point de vue d'un jeune garçon handicapé nommé Amahl, qui vit dans la pauvreté avec sa mère veuve près de Bethléem. Il voit une étoile brillante dans le ciel une nuit et dit à sa mère d'aller regarder, mais elle l'enlève, enfouie dans l'inquiétude sur leur avenir sombre et le manque de moyens pour se soutenir. Cette nuit-là, trois rois traversent leur maigre cabane et cherchent refuge, car ils ont voyagé longtemps et lointainement après l'étoile dont Amahl avait parlé. Ils apportent avec eux des trésors et des cadeaux à donner à "l'Enfant" qui vient de naître et qui règnera sur tout. Aveuglé par l'attrait de l'or et ce qu'il pourrait faire pour sa famille. La Mère tente de voler juste un peu du trésor, mais elle est prise en flagrant délit. Ce que personne n'attend d'un cadeau bien plus grand que l'or - béni par l'Enfant, Amahl se retrouve soudainement guéri de son handicap. Un conte vivant et accessible créé à l'origine pour la télévision, Amahl et les Night Visitors est un premier opéra parfait - ou centième!
