Amahl and the Night Visitors
Presented by Resonance Works

Resonance Works popular holiday tradition continues this year with the return of Gian Carlo Menotti’s beloved classic, Amahl and the Night Visitors! This season, the three kings journey to the North Side where they will meet Amahl and his Mother at The New Hazlett Theater in an all-new, fully-staged production from emerging opera director Haley Stamats. Emmanuel Tsao and Olga Perez Flora make their Resonance Works debuts as Amahl and Mother, with returning artists Jonathan Stuckey (Macbeth, Amahl, On the Town), Christopher Scott (On the Town, Side by Side by Sondheim), and Robert Chafin (Evidence of Things Not Seen) as the three kings.
The first portion of our program includes festive music by Jessie Montgomery, Jennifer Higdon, and Pittsburgh’s own Nancy Galbraith, plus Cécile Chaminade’s famous Flute Concertino. Flutist Lindsey Goodman, who wowed audiences this past May with the world premiere of Galbraith’s Flute Concerto, takes on this lush and virtuosic masterwork.
