Three traveling kings stop for the night at the humble home of a shepherd boy and his mother. As the precocious Amahl entertains the peculiar guests, he learns that true generosity of heart can be a miracle in itself. Since its Christmas Eve premiere on national TV in 1951, AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS has charmed children and adults alike. Full of humor, wonder, and enchanting melody, AMAHL is truly a Christmas classic for the whole family.
