The Athens Concert Hall presents Lehár’s enchanting operetta The Merry Widow, in live transmission from the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
The great Renée Fleming stars as the beguiling femme fatale who captivates all Paris in the famous operetta, seen in a new staging by Broadway virtuoso director and choreographer Susan Stroman (The Producers, Oklahoma!, Contact). Stroman and her design team of Julian Crouch (Satyagraha, The Enchanted Island) and costume designer William Ivey Long (Cinderella, Grey Gardens, Hairspray) have created an art-nouveau setting that climaxes with singing and dancing grisettes at the legendary Maxim’s.
Nathan Gunn co-stars as Danilo and Kelli O’Hara is Valencienne. Mezzo-soprano diva Susan Graham takes on the title role later in the run. Sir Andrew Davis and Fabio Luisi conduct.
Supported by the Antenna Group. In collaboration with the Athens Concert Hall & the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.
