An intoxicating whirl of elegant ladies, eligible bachelors, Maxim’s can-can dancers, and ever-flowing champagne, Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow has long delighted audiences with its effervescent tale of suitors seeking the coveted hand of wealthy widow Anna Glawari in fin-de-siècle Paris. Events unfold against the back story of the small, struggling Balkan state of Pontevedro whose entire GDP has ended up in the young widow’s jewellery drawer…

This much-loved operetta has been a huge crowd pleaser since its 1905 première in Vienna and features many well-known arias, including Vilja, You’ll Find Me At Maxim’s, and The Merry Widow Waltz.
