Franz Lehár: The Merry Widow

According to a legend, an evening doesn’t go by without The Merry Widow being presented somewhere in the world. The love story of Hanna Glawari and Danilo Danilovitsch, the politicians’ prevarication in a state which deals with insolvency, the affairs of diplomats and consul wives had already engraved themselves into public awareness.
