Amahl and the Night Visitors is a one-act opera composed by Gian Carlo Menotti. It tells the heartwarming story of a young boy named Amahl and his mother who are visited by three kings – Kaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar – on their way to see the newborn baby Jesus.
The story takes place in their humble home in Bethlehem, and although the kings bring gifts for the newborn king, Amahl and his mother have nothing to offer but their hospitality. Through their kindness and humility, they ultimately provide the kings with the greatest gift of all: the realization of the true meaning of generosity and love.
Amahl and the Night Visitors is an inspiring and uplifting story that celebrates the spirit of the holiday season.
