Resonance Works presents ‘Amahl’ and ‘Ballad of the Brown King’
Resonance Works’ 10th anniversary season is continuing with a production of “Amahl and the Night Visitors” and “The Ballad of the Brown King.”
Victory Brinker, a young opera singer from Latrobe who recently appeared on NBC-TV’s “America’s Got Talent,” is making her Resonance Works debut in the role of Amahl. “Amahl and the Night Visitors” is a beloved tale of hope and generosity that tells the story of a young boy, Amahl, his mother and their life-changing encounter with three mysterious strangers of their way to Bethlehem.
The company is pairing “Amahl and the Night Visitors” with “The Ballad of the Brown King,” a concert cantata for chorus, soloists, and chamber orchestra by celebrated 20th century composer Margaret Bonds, with a libretto by poet Langston Hughes.
Showtimes are Friday, Dec. 16 and Saturday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. each day, and Sunday, Dec. 18 at 3 p.m. Performances will be at the New Hazlett Theater on Pittsburgh’s North Side.
