Sarasota Opera invites you to this production of money, mischief and matchmaking in the 1860s Parisian aristocracy.

Wealthy widow Hanna Glawari is descended upon by an array of willing suitors from Parisian society. But plans go awry when Hanna's past paramour enters the ballroom. One of the most successful romantic operettas, The Merry Widow is the perfect blend of comedy, dance and unforgettable music.
