Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors”

“Amahl and the Night Visitors”

Featuring Robeson Amory, Pamela Olsen, Edgar Jaramillo, Mark Wilson, William Amory, and the Sanctuary Choir.  Eric Olsen, Music Director  

Menotti’s enduring hit, written for television in 1951 and since performed more than 2,500 times during the Christmas holidays is the modern equivalent of a medieval mystery play.  It is based on Menotti’s invented fable. A selfless act by a poor shepherd boy culminates in a Christmas miracle.

Presented as part of our weekly worship service, come be a part of the miracle of Christmas as told by the musicians of Union Congregational Church!
