Based on the story by Henry Van Dyke, Bel Canto Singers’ original musical tells the tale of Artaban, the fourth Wise Man who fails to meet up with the other three Magi to look for the newborn Jesus. Instead, Artaban spends his whole life doing good deeds, but always misses meeting Jesus throughout his years of searching. Interactive video projections offer striking visual effects to complement the score, beautifully depicting the uplifting world of altruism.
