Die lustige Witwe
Operetta by Franz Lehár
In German with English surtitles
At the end of 1905, "The Merry Widow" celebrated its world premiere in the Theater an der Wien and thus began its triumphal procession around the world: performances in Hamburg and Berlin, in London and on Broadway soon followed. "The Merry Widow" is one of the most performed operettas ever.
Hanna and Danilo became role models for the great Hollywood lovers, as they were excitingly new: Hanna Glawari as a modern woman, equipped with a cheeky mouth and a directness that in no way contradicts her elegance and cosmopolitanism; Danilo as a bon vivant who, after losing his great love, spends his days in Maxim without any prospects or tasks. Their game of luring and pushing away almost robs the two proud stubborn people of their good luck a second time.
Marco Arturo Marelli's staging frees the story from excessive kitsch in the tension between personal hopes and the expectations of society. The characters, above all the two lovers Hanna and Danilo, break away from their clichés and become people of flesh and blood - and all this with real comedy away from cheap punch lines.
