This was our second production of Lehar’s celebrated operetta, the previous production having been staged in 1970 to commemorate the Society’s twenty-fifth anniversary. It was felt that it would be an appropriate choice for our sixtieth anniversary, not least because 2005 also marked the centenary of the premiere of The Merry Widow in Vienna.

Our production was updated to the present day (2005). At the opening of the show, the small Eastern European country of Pontevedro is celebrating its recent admission to the European Union.
