Wittmann Voice Students Enjoy Christmas Opera

On Friday, December 12, 2014, voice students of Mrs. Janette Wittmann, traveled to Nacogdoches to see the Christmas opera, "Amahl and the Night Visitors". The production was presented by the SFA College of Fine Arts and School of Music and held at Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.

The one-act opera, written in English, tells the story of Amahl, a poor, crippled shepherd boy, and his mother who are visited by the Three Kings during their journey to the Christ Child. Since it was first produced for television in 1951, the opera has become a Christmas classic that is produced in communities throughout the United States.


Students attending were (L-R) Ella Shires, Cecily Gibson, Celeste Gibson, Kai'Lyn Jones, Allison Stuever, Ian Williams, Sarah Scull, Laura Anne Scull, Brianna Hardy and Braxton Hardy. Mrs. Janette Wittmann, Alison Scull and Stacy Riley accompanied the students.
