Background: The Merry Widow (Die Lustige Witwe) had its premiere at Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1905. It quickly traveled to London and became a major Broadway sensation. Often called 'The Queen of Operettas', this is certainly the most celebrated and successful show of its kind ever written.

In this production from the Staatsoper Dresden many musical numbers usually omitted, are played. Petra-Maria Schnitzer and Bo Skovhus regarded as some of the most prestigious singers their generation. The Jérôme Savary staging is very colourful and a subtle tribute to the golden age of Hollywood. Directed for television by highly respected Don Kent.
