A Family Theater: Amahl and the Night Visitors, 1956

This is one of seven pages that ran in the December 1956 issue of Woman's Home Companion, depicting scenes from the Gian-Carlo Menotti opera.  

According to wikipedia, Amahl and the Night Visitors was the first opera specifically composed for television and first aired on NBC in 1951 as the debut production of the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Menotti had trouble settling on a subject for the opera, but took his inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's The Adoration of the Magi hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Here is the back of the page, identifying the characters in the opera.
