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.

Just been to see Pirates of Penzance. I think it’s wonderful that light opera is available to so many people by Opera Anywhere. The cast were superb, together with an extremely talented music section. If you do get to see Opera Anywhere in production I urge you to take the opportunity.
