It's not a very trendy thing to do, but I want to wish happy 50th
birthday to "Amahl and the Night Visitors." It was first performed on TV,
Christmas Eve, 1951.  I caught up with it later (no TV or capitalist opera
in Budapest) while it was still an annual tradition, and - blush - I became
very fond of it.  Menotti, 90, was interviewed on NPR today on the
occasion.
