Amahl and the Night Visitors

Directed by Kirk Browning and Gian Carlo Menotti

With Chet Allen, Rosemary Kuhlmann, Andrew McKinley, David Aiken and Leon Lishner

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.
