December 13, 2024 7:00pm Stephen B. Humphrey Theater Order Tickets
Saint John’s Prep Theatre presents “Amahl and the Night Visitors.” This opera tells the story of Amahl, a young disabled boy with a vivid imagination, whose life changes when three kings—on a journey to honor a wondrous child—seek shelter at his home. Amahl’s mother is skeptical and desperate over their poverty, but she is moved by the king’s generosity. When she attempts to take their gold to care for her son, the kings forgive her, recognizing her hardship. Inspired, Amahl selflessly offers his crutch as a gift for the child, leading to a miraculous healing. The story beautifully illustrates themes of faith, compassion, and the transformative power of giving.
This story will be told with 23 stunning puppets. These are life-size puppets and each need several performers to bring to life! These puppets were commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II and created by the Little Angel Puppet Theatre of London, England. Since they arrived in Minnesota after their restoration in 2008, the Amahl Puppets have been back on stage for a dozen performances across Minnesota.
Amahl and the Night Visitors is a one-act opera commissioned by NBC Television originally broadcast live on December 24th, 1951. Written by Gian Carlo Menotti and performed in English, the libretto tells the simple yet powerful story of the Three Magi who stop for a night on their journey to Bethlehem.
