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!
