comment |
A "Christmas opera" by Gian-Carlo Menotti, written on commission for NBC and the Hallmark Hall of Fame. First performed in 1951.The story concerns Amahl, a poor crippled boy who lives with his mother, as they are visited by the three kings on the night of Jesus' birth. Amahl has a habit of lying, and his mother initially does not believe him when he talks about the unusual star he sees. When she sees the riches that the kings have and intend to give to the infant Jesus, she attempts to steal the gold. King Melchior, however, forgives her when he sees Amahl defend her. |

Spiritual Successor |

comment |
Spiritual Successor: Since "Amahl" is only about an hour long, American composer David Conte wrote an operatic setting of "The Gift of the Magi'' for the same size orchestra, intending it as a companion piece to fill out the other half of a double bill. |

Cassandra Truth: Mother doesn't believe Amahl when he talks about the star, nor about the kings, until she sees them herself. She has a pretty good justification, though, as she rattles off his track record of lying. |
