Piedmont Opera Continues Holiday Classic  Amahl and the Night Visitors

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.-- Piedmont Opera returns with its annual holiday classic, Amahl and the Night Visitors, an uplifting story of genuine beauty and meaning for the whole family to share.  Menotti’s Christmas opera will be performed on December 5 at 7:30 p.m. and December 6 at 2:00 and again at 7:30 p.m., in the worship hall at First Presbyterian Church, located on the corner of 2nd and Cherry Streets.

Just in time for the holiday season, Amahl is the story of a crippled shepherd boy, his destitute mother, and his encounter with the three star-guided kings. The production captures the true meaning of the holidays featuring glorious music, colorful costumes, amusing characters, and beautiful singing and dancing.

Sung in English, Amahl and the Night Visitors appeals equally to both old and young and serves as an excellent introduction to opera for children. The familiar story is easily understood by all ages and the performance time is short, making it easy to hold a young person’s attention.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $13.50 for children. Children six and under are free.
