I’m a bit embarassed to admit I didn’t even know he was still alive. Any fans of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” here?
My parents performed in Amahl many times, and lines from it became family in-jokes. I have a vague memory of meeting Menotti one time as a child.
The Consul is under appreciated. I have designed lights for two different productions of this and have loved it both times.
Mr. Menotti will be missed
My Mom was a student of Menotti while he was at Custis Institute in Philadelphia. Amahl and the Night Visitors was a Christmas tradition at our house for many years–wish that it would come back. RIP, Mr. Menotti. He certainly lived a long and very productive life.
