Music on the Corner and Opera Roanoke present Gian Carlo Menotti's opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" on Jan 12th at 6:00 at St. John's Episcopal Church at the corner of Jefferson and Elm streets. This heart warming story of wonder and miracles was commissioned by NBC in 1951 as the first opera specifically designed for TV. It has become an enduring holiday classic for all ages. A young shepherd and his mother are visited by three kings looking for lodging for the night on their way to see the Christ Child.
