Ash Lawn Opera’s seasonal offering Amahl and the Night Visitors is the perfect excuse to bundle up in formal attire and take in a show. The popular 60-minute holiday story about three kings stopping by en route to Bethlehem is performed in English and accessible to the whole family. The cast features 16-year-old Georgia Castleman, who stars as Amahl for the second consecutive year, as well as singers from The Metropolitan Opera and Washington National Opera. Kate Tamarkin, director of the Charlottesville Symphony at UVA, conducts.
