Programme Note
Guildford Opera want to lift your spirits with their pre-Christmas show, The Merry Widow. It’s become a perennial favourite with musical theatre goers and the company are back on stage at the Electric Theatre with a new version set in 1990’s Paris which plays like pure French farce. Amorous and political intrigue are swept along on Lehár’s sparkling music, one familiar tune after another – ‘Vilja’, ‘Women, Women’, the ‘Grisettes’ chorus’ – with the accent firmly on FUN!
The show will also be performed on Friday Dec 3 @7.30pm and Saturday Dec 4@6.30pm
