The year is 1919. The place: composer Gian Carlo Menotti’s war-torn hometown in northern Italy. The scene is grim yet one boy is brimming with anticipation for the annual Epiphany visit of the Three Magi, who leave gifts for the children while they sleep. Only this year, he has caught them! The proof is there…they arrived at night dressed in strange attire, they are following a star, and they bring gifts of wonderful things like chocolate! These MUST be the Three Magi…
