The Merry Widow

by Franz Lehár
presented by Duchy Opera

A sparkling blend of romance, wit and Parisian glamour, Duchy Opera’s new production of The Merry Widow brings Lehár’s beloved operetta to life with elegance and irresistible charm. Set in a world of glittering ballrooms and diplomatic intrigue, the story follows the wealthy young widow Hanna Glawari and the frantic efforts of the Pontevedrian embassy to hang onto her fortune — and save the country from bankruptcy.

Expect sweeping Viennese melodies, sumptuous costumes and a joyful evening of comedy, dance and song, delivered with Duchy Opera’s trademark warmth and theatrical flair. A perfect night out for seasoned opera lovers and newcomers alike.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI
