State Opera of South Australia Presents THE MERRY WIDOW
The State Opera of South Australia will present one of the most successful comedic operettas ever written The Merry Widow at the Adelaide Festival Theatre from November 29 to December 6.
Based on the original operetta written by Franz Lehar, this acclaimed English retelling has been presented nationally with immense popularity.
The Merry Widow is directed and choreographed by the award-winning Graeme Murphy and conducted by Wyn Davies.
The story tells of wealthy widow Hanna, an inadvertent heiress of a city's fortune after just eight days of marriage. Fearing the loss of their riches, members of the 'society set' are determined that she must wed a local - and soon, before any foreigner catches her gaze. However, she has history with the man they have in mind, and to complicate matters, the widow isn't the only one turning heads.
The cast features some of Australia's most popular stage performers including Antoinette Halloran as Hanna and Alexander Lewis as Count Danilo Danilovich.
An exciting array of South Australian artists also feature in the production and include local favourite Desiree Frahn as Valencienne.
Tickets start at $80 and can be purchased here: https://www.bass.net.au/events/sosa-the- merry-widow/
