Amahl and the Night Visitors by Menotti

This is one of the first operas broadcast live by ABC TV in Australia in 1957. The role of King Kaspar, was played by my father, Victor Franklin. (Frank Graeme Johnson).

The Kaspar is brilliant, beautiful from top to bottom. He sings it rather than doing it as a character tenor. I love it

Who's the cast. The Amahl has a beautiful voice, sounds like a mature light female soprano, not a treble.

Amahl was played by Anthony Monopoli - a young treble. Sadly he has passed away.

There is a full credit roll at the end.

Thanks. It is easier to hear the words in this version than American versions
