Amahl and the Night Visitors is a heartwarming holiday opera where a mischievous boy, three wise kings, and a dash of magic collide on their journey to find the Christ child. Expect miracles, laughter, and a lesson in generosity that’s perfect for the whole family.

Petite Opera Productions’ Stage Director Cathy Dunn and Set Designer Miguel Lopez Lemus give a whole new dimension to this delightful classic using puppetry that brings new meaning to the term “larger than life”.

Let the amazing cast of professional lead performers, and six performing families from Park Ridge and the northwest suburban area draw you into the warmth of the holiday spirit.

Just like Amahl, you, too, will experience the transformation of giving.
