About Amahl and the Night Visitors: A
new holiday tradition tells the story of the night the three kings,
following the star to Bethlehem, stop to rest at the home of Amahl, a
poor, crippled shepherd boy and his widowed mother. As the kings are
welcomed into the home, they speak about their long journey to give
gifts to a wondrous child. During their stay, the kings tell Amahl a
tale about a kingdom “built on love alone.” Inspired by the kings’ tale,
Amahl gives up a simple gift for the newborn child. Then, a miracle
happens…
Amahl's gift to the newborn King will transform everyone's lives while Gian Carlo Menotti’s music is sure to move you. Amahl,
a family-friendly show running just under an hour and performed in
English, will place special emphasis on the message of giving during the
holiday season. The show will be designed and directed by Affiliate
Artist Joachim Schamberger and received a $100,000 grant from the LDI
100th Anniversary Celebration Cultural Partnership Gift
Program. Schamberger returns to Indianapolis Opera as designer/director
after successes with The Tragedy of Carmen and Faust and
will be utilizing his signature digital set designs once again.
Additionally, the cast includes Noah Boehm, a member of The Indianapolis
Children’s Choir, singing Amahl and Elizabeth Batton, who will be
singing as the mother. Darren Stokes, Mark Gilgallon and David Manell
will be returning to sing the role of the three kings.
