The Merry Widow (German: Die lustige Witwe) by Lehar, in Istanbul



The Merry Widow (German: Die lustige Witwe) is an operetta by the Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár. The librettists, Viktor Léon and Leo Stein, based the story — concerning a rich widow, Hanna Glawari, and her attempt to find a husband — on an 1861 comedy play, L'attaché d'ambassade (The Embassy Attaché) by Henri Meilhac.

It is now on Stage in Sureyya Opera House in Istanbul, Turkey
