Franz Lehár’s “Die Lustige Witwe” is reputed to be one of the most famous operettas in the world. Under the direction of the French Jerome Savary's the “Merry Widow” sparkles. At the first staging of this production at the Opera-Comique in Paris (Octobre, 2005) the singers appeared to be having as much fun as the audience. The Austrian Maestro Manfred Honeck presents his musical view on this operetta.

So good to see that operetta is not entirely extinct! Lovely and interesting production, of course "revisited" but acceptable.

My students asked truly... do we have to understand German, and russian language (in university of tartu), and i asked: and how not!? German and Russian! How are you studets of university of Tartu?! (Elementary understanding of Estonian and russian should be elementary).

Minult isegi ei küsitud. Ja ma tegin oma töö ära.

Good singers, lovely music but the concept of the performance is... interesting at best. A little tasteless and too on the nose for my taste. But I am glad people seemed to enjoy it. But I must say I enjoyed the performance of the Baron very much. I also liked the badass Glawari.

Eine reiche Investmentbanker-Witwe? So oder so ist die Inszenierung tauglich für den Silvester-Abend.
