This lavish new staging of Lehár’s sparkling romantic comedy has all the opulence of classic Hollywood.

Glamorous, wealthy and recently widowed, can Hanna outwit the swarm of suitors in her search for true love? Danielle de Niese leads a stellar cast in this laugh-out-loud classic, which is sure to put a smile on your face as it spins around the glittering ballrooms of 1900s Paris.

Sung in English in a new version by Stephen Plaice and Marcia Bellamy with English supertitles.
