The operetta will be accompanied by full orchestra conducted by Gregory Ortega and staged by Linda Lehr.

The cast features: Elana Gleason and Christina Rohm share the title role of Hanna Glavari the merry widow whose fortunes may save her homeland - if she marries a fellow Pontevedrian.

Carter as her would-be suitor Camille (who Valencienne tries to set up with Hanna), and Gregg Lauterbach and John Schenkel as Valencienne's diplomat-husband Zeta.
