	Amahl and the Night Visitors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amahl and the Night Visitors is an opera in one act by Gian Carlo Menotti on an original English libretto by the composer.
		Amahl is a young boy with a crippled leg who, although he has a kind and pleasant heart, has a problem with telling tall tales and, occasionally, lies.
		Amahl, too, has nothing to give the Christ Child except his crutch, but he offers it, and as he does so, his leg is healed, and he joyfully leaves his mother and goes off with the three kings to see the child and give thanks for being healed.

	FABULOUS REVIEW: AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS by The Golden Apple Theatre Company
		The opera has two main characters, the quasi-Biblical Amahl, a young boy lame in one leg, and his widowed mother; they live at the time of Christ's birth and, like the Shunamite woman and her son in the book of the Kings, are desperately poor.
		Amahl, however, is upbeat enough about their prospects of survival and in one of the most affective scenes of the opera, convinces his mother that they cannot go hungry while he still has his pipe and "know(s) sweet tunes to set people dancing".
		AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS was successful chiefly because, like the best medieval plays, it inspired a primitive awe and the sense that what was taking place on stage was something larger than the immediate action, and infinitely more significant.

		Gian-Carlo Menotti was born in Italy in 1911, the sixth of ten children.
		The commission for Amahl was in one sense a follow-on to an opera he wrote for radio in 1939, The Old Maid and the Thief.
		Of course World War II suspended most such events, and with the surging interest in television- which began almost before the War was over- it was logical to try to marry the operatic stage to the small screen (small indeed on Christmas Eve, 1951, when NBC first broadcast Amahl!).
