Menotti and Bridge: Christmas Operas in One-Act

Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors and Bridge's The Christmas Rose


Amahl and the Night Visitors tells the story of the little cripple boy's reception of the Magi on their way to Bethlehem (The Three Kings traveled from afar to celebrate the birth of Jesus and give their gifts.)  The Christmas Rose is an opera for children.

Two popular Christmas one-act operas, often traditionally played to celebrate Christ's birth: American composer Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors and English composer Frank Bridge's The Christmas Rose
