The Merry Widow - Operetta by Franz Lehár - Johann-Strauss-Operetta-Wien

The Merry Widow is the most successful operetta by Franz Lehár. Famous titles like "Lippen schweigen," "Da geh‘ ich zu Maxim," and "Ja, das Studium der Weiber ist schwer" promise an entertaining evening. Singing soloists from Vienna, orchestra, choir, and ballet from the Johann-Strauss-Operetta-Wien present the exciting story with beautiful music in a classic production with magnificent costumes and a traditional stage design.

For family reasons, Count Danilo was not allowed to marry Hanna, a girl from the countryside. While he tries to forget his worries about this marriage prohibition with the grisettes, Hanna manages to marry the wealthy banker Glawari, who dies on their wedding night. As a rich widow, Hanna is very sought after by men. Danilo's love for Hanna reignites, but he is afraid to confess it to her - fearing that he would also be accused of only being interested in her money. But the situation becomes even more complicated. Hanna announces her engagement to Camille de Rosillon in order to protect Valencienne, who flirts with Camille and is almost caught by her husband. Only when this incident is resolved and Hanna pretends she cannot dispose of her inheritance, can Hanna and Danilo finally embrace.

Doors open: 19:00.
