The Merry Widow

About the show

In Paris, officials from bankrupt Pontevedro try to arrange a marriage between wealthy widow Hanna Glawari and Count Danilo, her former lover, so her fortune will stay in their country. Danilo refuses to court Hanna for her money, while Baron Zeta struggles to hide the affair between his wife Valencienne and French attaché Camille. After a pavilion mix-up makes it seem that Camille will marry Hanna, she reveals she was protecting Valencienne’s reputation. Danilo finally declares his love; they marry, and Hanna’s fortune remains with her husband and Pontevedro.
