Opera Orlando concludes its 10th Anniversary season On the MainStage series with an original production of Franz Lehár's The Merry Widow, starring HBO-famed soprano Sarah Joy Miller as the title role and Grammy Award-winning baritone Gabriel Preisser as Count Danilo Danilovitch. The cast is rounded out by comic bass-baritone Andy Papas as Baron Zeta, Opera Orlando studio artist Alexandra Kzeski as his philandering wife Valencienne, and tenor Adrian Kramer as her lover.
As the curtain rises, you are stepping into a grand celebration. The beautiful Hanna Glawari's late husband has left her a very Rich Woman. In fact, she's so rich that the economy of her homeland depends on her marrying a local — so the ambassador springs into action with the help of his wife, Valencienne (a former can-can girl) to find Hanna the right husband. But it's a tricky affair because the wily widow already has someone in mind: Count Danilo, an old flame, who has no intention of giving up bachelorhood. He's got a bevy of beauties delighted to keep him happy with no strings attached. Rendezvous are rampant. Complications abound. Hanna ultimately gets her man as Lehár's unforgettable tunes and waltzes bubble happily along.
Estimated run time is two hours and 30 minutes including one intermission. A pre-show talk, free for all ticket holders, will be held onstage 50 minutes prior to each performance.
This production is graciously supported by Kathleen Miller.
