1: This is a wonderful Christmas Story put to beautiful music.
Amahl and the Night Visitors by Gian Carlo Menotti is a beautifully written opera. It portrays a wonderful Christmas story of a poor widow and her crippled son who have three kings visit their home on their journey to find the Christ Child. In the end the boy is healed and goes with them on their journey. This is just 45 minutes long and is a great show for the whole family. Anyone in a position to direct and produce this opera should do it. It's wonderful. We just love it and we're considering doing it every year. The world needs its message of love and peace.

2: Excellent practice score
This score is excellent for practicing the music and the printing resolution is very good. I'm performing it this fall 08, and is very helpful whether is for the vocal line or for piano (if you can play it because it's complex). There is only one mistake at measure 764 in the vocal line, nothing to worry about. The paper is normal, so there is no need to worry for highlighter or simple marking.

3: lost in trans
after purchasing this product, i was never contacted about when or if it was shipped. i was sending it to a relative as a surprise so i couldn't ask if they had received it. i still have no idea what happened to it. i can only assume since i was asked to rate it that it did finally arrive. but, who knows!? needless to say, i will not order from this seller again.

4: Amahl and the Night Visitors Vocal Score
The score was complete and arrived within a few days of ordering. It was written clearly and I was able to accomplish the task I wanted without any trouble. It included both vocal soloists and choral parts so that the choir would be able to manage it easily. I was very pleased with my purchase.

5: Beautiful story and images!
This gorgeously illustrated storybook has become the favorite part of my Christmas, since I found it 8 years ago. As an elementary music teacher I found this to be a fabulous way to introduce opera to my 4th grade classes. Each year I read the story to them inserting selected vocal works from the opera. This allows the children to hear the words spoken first, preparing them for the selections from the opera.
I would encourage anyone who wishes to teach their children about opera to purchase this book along with a quality audio recording. Enjoy!
