About the operetta
With "The Merry Widow" Franz Lehár created a worldwide success that can still be found regularly in theatre programmes today. Between the ambassador's ball and Maxim's, waltz-time bliss and subtle irony, an operetta unfolds that is full of emotion, elegance and timeless melodies.
All hearts lie at the feet of the wealthy widow Hannah Glawari, yet she has no intention of marrying again – but when lips fall silent, she lets herself be enchanted. Next summer, the Lehár Festival Bad Ischl brings this unique worldwide hit to the stage. For the first time in Austria, the piece will be performed in the extended, fast-paced revue version after Erick Charell.
You have never experienced the touching story of the wealthy widow, the lost lover and the Parisian joie de vivre quite like this – a triumphant production, a sensual and opulent dance operetta that leaves nothing to be desired.
