“Only one of Menotti’s operas can truly be said to have achieved lasting popularity: “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” a brief, modest work created for NBC television and first performed in a live broadcast on Christmas Eve in 1951…..The work’s appeal is obvious. Menotti’s music is attractive and unfailingly lyrical.” - The New York Times
My Christmas is performed by the Nashville Symphony Chorus, conducted by George Mabry.
