The Merry Widow Opera Tickets

The operetta was composed by Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehar and would become the most successful and renowned work of his career. The piece features a libretto from Viktor Leon and Leo Stein, the latter of who had many works adapted for the stage and screen over time including multiple film versions of The Merry Widow.

The plot revolves around a rich widow and the countrymen attempting to keep her money in the principality by finding her the right husband. The story was based on the 1861 comedic play L’attache d’ambassade by Henri Meilhac.  It features well-known music with pieces such as “Vilja Song” and “Merry Widow Waltz”. The operetta’s original production opened in December of 1905 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. The production starred opera legends including Mizzi Gunther, Louis Treumann and Siegmund Natzler. After a shaky initial opening, the production became a massive success receiving glowing reviews and would run for nearly 500 shows.
