Die lustige Witwe

This opera has already taken place. View our calendar here.

Die Lustige Witwe sketches an incisive picture of the hypocrisies of the beau monde. It proves that operetta is hardly shallow, but rather a rich and many-layered genre.

A glance in the mirror

Operetta is a lighter form of opera that foreshadows the later genres of revue and musical. The plots are playful, with amorous intrigues. But with its lighthearted scenes, Die Lustige Witwe holds an astute mirror up to our dealings with one another.
