Every year at Christmas performances of the enchanting opera Amahl and The Night Visitors bring delight and seasonal joy to countless families all around the world.

Last year Baraka Opera Kenya's performances of Amahl and The Night Visitors were so successful that the local Opera company has once more assembled over 50 of the finest Kenyan Singers, Dancers and Instrumentalists to bring this warm-hearted Opera to life.

Amahl and The Night Visitors is set in Kenya and tells the touching tale of Amahl, a crippled shepherd boy, who lives with his poor, widowed mother.

One evening Amahl and his mother are visited by three richly-dressed strangers with gifts for a new-born Child. These three strangers ask for shelter for the night and during the course of that fateful night a miracle happens!

Amahl and The Night Visitors is only about 45 minutes long and is an excellent introduction to Opera for children (of all ages).

The Opera will be the first half of the performance. The second half is called A Choral Celebration of Christmas and it's a varied selection of Christmas music, both well-loved and new - including a performance of Christopher Tin's popular and rousing Baba Yetu

Baraka Opera Kenya is staging Amahl and The Night Visitors at the Braeburn Theatre, Gitanga Road on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th December (3pm & 6pm both days).

Come along to this perfect introduction to the Holiday Season - you'll be enchanted!
