Show & CultureShow & CultureThe Merry Widow is the most famous of the Viennese operettas. The story takes place in Paris, in the salons of the embassy of Pontevedro, where a party is organized for the reigning prince’s birthday. Hanna Glawari, a wealthy widow, appears. To prevent her fortune from leaving Pontevedro, there is a plot to marry her to a compatriot, Count Danilo. He is her childhood love, but refuses to marry her for her money... An operetta as charming for its elegance as for its lightness!
