Amahl
and the Night Visitors (Menotti)
VAI DVD 4400, $24.95
The yearly live telecasts of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and the Night
Visitorswere a cherished Christmas tradition throughout the 1950s. In addition,
since
its premiere in 1951, Amahl has been performed regularly by community
groups and small opera companies throughout the US, making it the single most
popular American opera. This production, staged by the composer himself and originally
telecast on Christmas Day, 1955, is a testament to the work’s enduring
power to move the heart and stir the soul. Starring Rosemary Kuhlmann as the
Mother and Bill McIver as Amahl. Members of the Symphony of the Air are under
the direction of Thomas Schippers. Also on the DVD, from the same broadcast,
is The Columbus Boychoir performing Christmas carols. The DVD also includes an
exclusive 2007 interview with Rosemary Kuhlmann, who played the Mother in the
premiere and all the subsequent telecasts. 55 minutes (plus 30 min. bonus), Black & White,
