Menotti's Amahl & the Night Visitors is a wonderful story to add to your treasured Christmas collection. The story is engaging and the message is touching, while the music enhances the whole experience. This is the only commercial DVD available of the production. I wish some major producer would make a new one. Also it is only in black & white, so the scenery is limited, without color. This recording however, is special because it is the original cast for television. So it has historic value. It is well done, while also leaving room for a new director's eyes and vision, to create a totally new production. I recommend it, as a great source for ideas, and as an inspiration for your Christmas holiday! It add the magic and miracle into your home... AndreaT in VA

I have not seen this since I was a child, but remember it very well, thanks for having this so I can add to my Christmas DVD collection. Great Value, even though Black and White still beautiful story yes it is an opera, but entertaining and funny at places.

This used to be produced every year at Christmas. I was five when this first production was done, and no production since has been better to my mind (or maybe to my memory). I was so happy to find this! I bought it for my mother for Christmas, and we watched it together. What a wonderful reliving of a happy memory. Just as good as I remembered!

If you grew up in the 1950’s you may have seen this on tv at Christmas. If that’s the case and you enjoyed it then, you will definitely enjoy it now. The remastered version was just like seeing it as I remember it. The quality of the pictures and the music were good. I highly recommend it!

The extraordinary voices of both Amahl and his mother and the Beautiful music by Menotti made this a must-have for me. A sweet story of the three wise men's trip to Bethlehem and their encounter with a poor and crippled Shepherd boy make this a perfect Christmas Story to watch.
