Amahl and the Night Visitors
Being almost 60 years old, this video of the only opera written specifically for TV and geared to young people doesn't have the best sound or production qualities. But for opera lovers or those whose exposure to opera has been minimal Amahl and the Night Visitors should be a moving experience, with a powerful theme, great performances talented singers and an inspiring climax. It's only about 45 minutes long but I have seen it numerous times. Perfect viewing for the Christmas season but a DVD for all seasons and all ages. 5 stars!
