The Merry Widow by Franz Léhar is among one of the most famous operettas in history. Operetta literally means “small opera” and is more like an American Broadway show than a traditional opera. This version is a brand new translation, libretto and dialogue, written by Mission Opera Artistic and Executive Director, Dr. Joshua Wentz and set in the 1980s! The show is in English and will feature a wide variety of dancing, including vogue, classic Viennese waltzing, the can-can, and a men’s kick line. The show will have you roaring with laughter at the comedic dialogue, as you take a trip down memory lane remembering the fashion and the culture of the glamorous ’80s, as the British crown and rock stars like Elton John, Freddie Mercury, and George Michael desperately try to hold on to power.
- 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one 15 minute intermission
Presented by Mission Opera
