Amahl and the Night Visitors

[BaguetteDiscotheque]

Just beautiful ... Teresa Stratas looks like the Madonna here, and she would do literally anything for her child, who in her eyes is no different from the Messiah. What a perfect piece of music.

This is my favorite production of this Opera. I remember seeing it on TV.

[TheAttiliotauro]

Menotti is certainly more important as opera composer.Bur should be kmown al least

"sebastian suite"ballet music and "apocalypse"symphonic poem

[TheAttiliotauro]

Despite Menotti is a famous opera composer I wrote important symphonic works.The suite"apocalypse"is a masterpiece

[bayridgemaestro]

@TheAttiliotauro What does your important symphonic works have to do with amahl> I dont understand.

[pereslorena]

lol i watch this when i was in 5 grade at music class

Thanks for the vids. My brother and I used to do lines from this famous show all the time. We saw this live at the Duke Ellington School in DC. A wonderful buch of talent. The audience loved the performance - especially when Amahl said "there are three kings outside - and all of them are black."

[ceb2633]

Great story. Thanks....but I thought the line was "there are three kings and one of them is black". However, i am probably wrong. Thanks for the memory! C.

[jimbisonlinenow]

True, and that's the good part. The students at the Ellington School are mostly black kids, so all of the kings were too.

[nohpiano]

you are right - it's ONE of them.....

@ceb2633

[Marcooljerk]

@ceb2633 You missed the humor, at the Duke Ellington School, ALL of them would be black!

@jimbisonlinenow

Actually, I did get it. Being two neurons short a synapse, it took a moment to sink in. Sorry about that; getting old ain't for sissies. (credit given to Bette Davis.)

To quote King Kaspar: "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" for posting this treasure: four of the greatest singing actors of our time, with such beautiful voices, and beautifully filmed. Is it too much to ask for more of this performance?
