Our Christmas production is in fact, 2 for 1!
We’ll be performing Amahl and The Night Visitors PLUS The Telephone, both from the composer Gian Carlo Menotti and performed in English
The Telephone:
Menotti's 'The Telephone' is an hilarious short 25 minute one act opera.
Indispensable 21st-century communication device, or bane of real-world relationships? With video chat, texting, social media and more, mobile phones connect us as never before. But they demand so much of our attention that we may end up disregarding those dearest to us…
Lucy and Ben are two young lovers squeezing in time for a swift drink before Ben must dash for his train. He’s about to pop the most important question in his life – but can he compete with the relentless demands of Lucy’s mobile phone?
Amahl & The Night Visitors:
This is the tender, heart-warming story of Amahl, a poor shepherd boy, and his devoted mother.
They are visited one night by three kings, who are following a star on their way to see the baby Jesus. It’s a knock at the door that will change their lives forever. Amahl and the Night Visitors was originally written for television in 1951 and has since become an annual tradition in the USA –
becoming one of the most frequently performed operas of the 20th century.
