Sponsored by the UNL School of Music, Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, UNL Friends of Opera, Lincoln Public Schools, a nd the Lincoln Arts Council.\n\nAmahl, a young crippled boy lives with hi s Mother, a poor widow. He tells her of a large bright star in the sky, but she replies that he is a chronic liar and she complains of their pove rty. Arnahl comforts his Mother (Don't cry, Mother dear), and they go to sleep.\n\nThree Kings arrive out of the distance, seeking hospitality (Fr om far away we come). Bewildered at the presence of royalty in these humb le surroundings, the Mother runs out to find some firewood. Amahl, curiou s as any young boy would be, asks the Kings many questions, and is especi ally fascinated by Kaspar's special box containing beautiful stones, fanc y beads, and tasty licorice (This is my box).\n\nThe Mother sends Amahl o ut to letch the shepherds. The Kings speak of the Child they seek, to who m they intend to give their splendid gifts (Have you seen a child the col or of wheat, the color of dawn?). The Mother can only think of her own po or starving child.\n\nLed by Amahl the shepherds come to the house to see the Kings. They offer baskets of food, and dancing. When they depart, al l go to sleep, except the Mother, who envies the Kings' riches (All that gold!). When she attempts to steal some of the gold, she is caught by the Page. Amahl reacts to seeing his Mother in the clutches of the Page by b eating him. Melchior has the Mother released and forgives her, describing the Child for whom the gold is intended (Oh, woman, you may keep the gol d).\n\nAs the Kings are about to depart, Amahl offers them his crutch to take to the Child. As he raises his crutch in offering, a miracle occurs - he can walk! There is amazement and joy (He walks!).
