Project: Amahl and the Night Visitors (Gian Carlo Menotti)
Character: Mother
Departing from the traditional choral repertoire, singers from the Glendale Community College Choir and Chamber Choir ensembles— under the direction of Dr. Jayne Campbell—rehearsed once per week to bring to the stage Opera Vignettes, featuring excerpts from well-known and lesser-known operas. Amahl and the Night Visitors, a one-act opera, was the first of its kind, and was commissioned and performed on live American by NBC Opera in the early 1950s.
