Amahl and the Night Visitors

Friday, December 13 at 7:00 p.m.

Sunday, December 15 at 2:30 p.m.

Commissioned by NBC in 1951, “Amahl and the Night Visitors” is the first opera ever written for television.

Its composer, Gian Carlo Menotti, drew inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Adoration of the Magi,”

which is displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  This opera tells the story of Amahl, a shepherd boy.

When three kings come knocking on his and his mother’s door, Amahl is enchanted. When the kings describe

the child they are seeking, Amahl and his mother are intrigued and moved. Their faith results in a miracle.   

Donations are requested for this concert. This production will not be live streamed due to copyright laws.

Advent at the Cathedral

Advent season begins Sunday, December 1.

Look for  Advent materials on a table in the Chapter House.  We invite you to take the time to celebrate Advent.  To help you celebrate this season, we are sharing some resources.  We pray that your Advent is filled with health and hopeful anticipation. More information will be on the “Advent at the Cathedral” email we will send next week. 

Materials include the “Slow down. Quiet. It's Advent” posters to mark the days through the Advent season.

Reverse Advent Calendar

Our “Reverse Advent” outreach activity will allow our families to gather food and personal items to share

with our neighbors through our Blessing Box outside. Please note that many people depend on

our box for daily essentials and prefer cans with pull tab lids.

Daily Advent Readings

An email will be sent each day of the season beginning Sunday, December 1, and ending on Christmas Day. Our hope is that our email subscribers will find them a reflective way to begin each day during this season.
