Amahl and the Night Visitors

Album by Gian Carlo Menotti & Lorna Haywood & John Dobson & Donald Maxwell & Curtis Watson & Christopher Painter & James Rainbird & Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden & Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden & David Syrus

Amahl and the Night Visitors is a one-act television opera by Gian Carlo Menotti, first performed in 1951. The score blends lyrical, accessible melodies with orchestral and choral writing rooted in mid-20th-century tonal idioms, and the work marked Menotti's prominent role in adapting opera for television and popularising short English-language operas for mid-century audiences.
