This revivla is sung in English.Set in a high-society party in the Pontevedrian Embassy in turn-of-the-century Paris, 'The Merry Widow' is a light-hearted, whimsical operetta that tells the story of Anna Glawari, the temperamental widow of an outrageously wealthy man in search of a new husband. But, she faces a tough decision: If she decides to remarry, her tiny country, Pontevedro, will be left bankrupt. What unfolds is an embassy plot to match and marry her off to the suave, handsome Count Danilo; a scheme complicated by the secret affair of the French attache and the wife of the Pontevedrian ambassador. Lovers' crazy trysts, lavish parties, spirited hijinks and political intrigue make this joyful operetta one not to be missed.
