December 11 - The WIU Opera Theatre's production of Amahl and the Night Visitors by Gian Carlo Menotti. On Friday, December 11, 2009, leaving from Camp Point at 6 p.m. and Mount Sterling at 6:30 p.m., we will head to Macomb for the production staring at 7:30 p.m. Amahl and the Night Visitors answers the question of what could have transpired if the Three Kings has stopped to rest at a poor boy's home while on their journey to Bethlehem. Described as a gentle story with beautiful music and rich imagery to bring hope to a weary world, it offers everything one would hope to find in a Christmas production. It has been a Christmas classic since its first broadcast on NBC in 1951.
