About Amahl and the Night Visitors
The historic, original, live airing of what would become an annual Christmas tradition throughout the 1950s, this opera tells the story of Amahl, a crippled shepherd boy, and his destitute mother, who provide temporary shelter to three men who are following a star to the newly-born Christ child.
Directed by Kirk Browning, Gian Carlo Menotti, Amahl and the Night Visitors leans on a strong ensemble — Chet Allen, Rosemary Kuhlmann, Andrew McKinley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1951.
