Amahl & the Night Visitors at Opera Idaho

The most frequently performed opera in the world since its premiere on NBC television on Christmas Eve, 1951, Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl & the Night Visitors, will return for a second consecutive year with performances on Saturday, Dec. 4 (2:30 & 7:30 pm) and Sunday, Dec. 5 (2:30 pm) at The Egyptian Theatre. The opera tells the story of a crippled boy who is made to walk during a visit by the Magi on their way to visit the birth site of Jesus. Boise mezzo-soprano Tiffany Calás will once again star as Amahl’s Mother. The matinee performances and a special family ticket price are designed to make the short, one-act opera appeal to families with children. At The Egyptian Theatre.
