The Merry Widow

This operetta by Franz Lehar, premiering in 1905 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna was an instant smash hit.  Less than 4 years later ‘Die lustige Witwe’ had already been performed more than 18,000 times in theaters around the world. Costumes, manners and even one-liners from the operetta were copied by concert goers of the time to show their sophistication.  Show yours by ordering tickets online at Classictic!
