The Merry Widow

Album by Franz Lehár & New Sadlers Wells Orchestra & Barry Wordsworth

The Merry Widow is an operetta by Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár, first performed in 1905. The score blends Viennese operetta traditions with lush romantic melodies and prominent waltz and polka rhythms, and its international popularity helped popularise the operetta genre while solidifying Lehár's position in early 20th-century light opera.
