The Merry Widow, based on the 1905 operetta by Franz Lehár returns to Houston Ballet with witty and intriguing characters and choreography by the esteemed British choreographer Ronald Hynd. The lavish ballet is filled with rich music and sweeping drama as lives intertwine in early 20th century Europe.
When a secret romance is uncovered between Count Danilo and the glamorous, wealthy widow Hanna Glawari (a former peasant girl who’s transformed herself into high society), their homeland and its aristocracy plot to preserve their love affair while also saving themselves and the principality of Pontevedro from bankruptcy. With gorgeous costume and scenic designs by the acclaimed Roberta Guidi di Bagno, The Merry Widow is sure to enthrall audiences with its humor and grandeur.
