Be transported to glistening Belle Époque Paris with Franz Lehár’s most celebrated operetta performed by talented singers of the RCM Opera Studio.

In Paris, 1900, a radiant and wealthy young widow, Hanna Glawari, arrives to attend a ball at the embassy of her Balkan homeland, Pontevedra. She encounters her old flame, Danilo, whom she is encouraged to marry – which Hanna will not do until he finally professes his love for her.

Instead, Hanna jumps in to protect the reputation of the Valencienne, the wife of Baron Zeta, who is having an affair with the Count de Rosillon. What follows is a comic tale of romantic intrigue, played out at champagne-filled parties and accompanied by can-can dancers of the iconic Parisian nightclub, Maxim's.

Franz Lehár's uplifting operetta was a roaring success after its premiere in 1905, with the instantly recognisable Vilja Song and Merry Widow Waltz becoming staples of the opera canon.
