Christmas Opera Company of Toronto 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES     The Christmas Opera Company of Toronto, a not-for-profit corporation, was formed with the goal of producing twenty performances every year of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Christmas opera, “Amahl and the Night Visitors”.

One day they are paid an unexpected visit by the wise men who are following the eastern star in a quest to see a child they believe to be the King of Kings.
