The Merry Widow

The Merry Widow Presented by SERTO/Melbourne Opera at the Alexander Theatre Friday 8th April – 7.30pm The hilarious story of the desperate attempts by the tiny bankrupt state of Pontevedro to prevent the enormously wealthy Anna Glawari (the merry widow) from marrying a foreigner, thereby resulting in the financial collapse of the Duchy. There are numerous pitfalls on the way to Anna’s happy reunion with the first secretary of the Embassy, the dashing Count Danilo. A smash hit throughout the world, The Merry Widow is packed with highly enjoyable numbers including the great Vilia, beloved of sopranos and audiences everywhere, as well as several of the most popular and romantic waltzes ever written.
