The Bowling Green State University Department of Theatre & Film, in conjunction with the BGSU Opera Theater and The College of Musical Arts, will present "The Merry Widow" on March 22 and 24.
The performances will be at 8 p.m. on March 22 and 3 p.m. on the 24th in the Thomas B. and Kathleen M. Donnell Theatre in the Wolfe Center for the Arts.
Widely believed to be the most popular operetta of all time, Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow has been presented over 500,000 times since it first won audience applause at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna in 1905.
Both a popular cultural phenomena and a stage sensation, the operetta prompted distinctive marketing ploys, including cocktails, songbooks in multiple languages, hats and shoes, and even The Merry Widow cigar.
