The Merry Widow, which has been performed at the Finnish National Opera 314 times, is also the world’s most popular operetta. Sung in Finnish, this production is ideal entertainment for first-time visitors to the Opera House, too.

The glorious costumes and splendid sets ensure a visually dazzling experience. As the curtain rises, the audience is invited to a grandiose, spectacular party.
Hanna Glavari is a rich widow in need of a husband. Count Danilo is the obvious candidate, particularly as the couple are already in love. However, Danilo refuses to propose to Hanna because of her riches.

It’s no surprise that this story of a wealthy widow’s marriage worries has become the world’s favourite operetta. Franz Lehár’s bright and bubbly work offers genuine old-school glamour, merrymaking with Parisian nobility, catchy melodies, and can-can. How could an operetta evening possibly be more perfect?
