Duchy Opera – The Merry Widow

A sparkling blend of romance, wit, and Parisian glamour, Duchy Opera’s new production of The Merry Widow brings Lehár’s beloved operetta to life with elegance and irresistible charm. Set in a world of glittering ballrooms and diplomatic intrigue, the story follows the wealthy young widow Hanna Glawari and the frantic efforts of the Pontevedrian embassy to hang onto her fortune—and save the country from bankruptcy.

Expect sweeping Viennese melodies, sumptuous costumes, and a joyful evening of comedy, dance and song, delivered with Duchy Opera’s trademark warmth and theatrical flair. A perfect night out for seasoned opera lovers and newcomers alike.

Since its debut in 1977, Duchy Opera has built up a reputation as one of the finest regional semi-professional opera companies in the UK, committed to staging exciting, inventive opera, as well as concerts in village halls or country houses. Duchy Opera uses Cornwall-based performers, musicians, designers & technicians wherever possible, actively seeking out young, emerging talent and encouraging innovation and creativity.
