    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.
