$15 adults, $12 seniors over 55, $10 children under 13 The Nashville Opera presents an evening of holiday
music and Gian Carlo Menotti's classic Christmas one-act
opera Amahl and the Night Visitors. Debuting on NBC in
1951, Menotti's opera is the touching story of Little
Amahl, a poor shepherd boy, whose life is forever
changed after a chance encounter with Three Kings who
are following a star to the manger in Bethlehem. This
emotional telling of the journey of the Magi is guaranteed
to bring smiles... as well as a few tears. Menotti, who
passed away in February 2007, founded the Festival of
Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy, in 1958 and then its American
counterpart, The Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston,
S.C., in 1977. Menotti wrote more than 20 operas and
won two Pulitzer Prizes for music. The evening includes a
VIP Holiday Dinner at 5:30 p.m. in the rotunda with a limited
number of tables for 10 available for $450 each along
