Rating: - Reviving wonderful memories
I remember seeing Amahl on TV in my teenage years, and it is very hard to find it being produced. So I was delighted to find this original, and at a reasonable price. I got one for myself and one for my granddaughters. Shortly after I ordered it, there was a production on TV (in color, which was nice), but it wasn't as good quality as this original. Thanks for making it available.

Rating: - Menotti - Amahl and the Night Visitors
I have been looking for this title on DVD for many years. This was a favorite of mine from my early youth. This is not to say that I am a fan of Opera or that I believe that Jesus was born on December 25th. As I expected, this appears to be a simple, VHS to DVD transfer. The original video recording was apparently captured and canned as-is, that is to say, no studio overdubbing. Therefore, the lyrics are often hard to understand. Just the same, I am overjoyed to own this rare seasonal production. ... Read More

Rating: - My biggest thrill of Christmas 2008
I couldn't believe that the old black&white version of Amahl was available. I was a child when I first saw it and it became a family tradiiton. By the time the version with Teresa Statas (and color) came out I was a full-blown opera buff. But it was disappointing! She was great but something was missing - a simplicity, a lack of pretension, an intimacy. The dance had lost all its spontaneity. Now it's all come back in this DVD - I wasn't wrong - it wasn't just nostalgia. This is the way it should ... Read More

Rating: - Amahl and the Night Visitors

This is a treasure! I remember it as a child. It was preformed almost every Christmas time in the early '50's. Wish they'd do it again.
It may be "too simple" for todays generation. However all you kids and grandkids out there, this would be a terrific present for your parents and grandparents!
all the best

Sometimes being "original" isn't necessarily better. Now don't get me wrong... I love this opera and grew up watching it on tv as did many reviewers.. But I'm not wasting my money on a black and white early tv video. What I am hoping for is a DVD of the wonderful video filmed on location in Israel with Theresa Stratas as the mother. I saw this the first time on PBS circa 1979, and was able to find a video tape produced by VAI. However it is time for a release of that performance on DVD. If I ... Read More
