Salt Lake Community College’s Grand Theatre, in partnership
with the University of Utah School of Music and Sinfonia, is proud to present “Amahl
and the Night Visitors” and “A Christmas Carol,” running three days only, Nov.
30 – Dec. 2.
Experience two operettas in one evening that are sure to put
you in the holiday spirit. In Act I, witness “Amahl and the Night Visitors,”
with music and lyrics by Gian Carlo Menotti. When Amahl, a poor, crippled shepherd
boy, meets the Three Kings following the star to Bethlehem, he is inspired to
offer a simple gift to the Christ Child. Through his compassion, a miracle
occurs.
In Act II, enjoy the beloved Charles Dicken’s classic, “A
Christmas Carol,” with music and lyrics by Utah locals, Mike Leavitt and
Anthony Buck. When Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three spirits on Christmas
Eve, he has the opportunity to open his heart and discover the joy that comes
from generosity.
Under the direction of Bob Breault, with Daniel Johnson
co-directing “A Christmas Carol,” the creative team includes Jeffery Price as
musical director and Kyra Furman as choreographer.
Tickets are $20 and are available at www.GrandTheatreCompany.com.
