   Jun 10, 2024 · The in-jokes come thick and fast in Glyndebourne’s first-ever staging of Franz Lehár’s operetta, The Merry Widow. Everything has been thrown at this snazzy, frothy tunefest; direction by comedy king Cal McCrystal, conducting by the multiple award-winning John Wilson, and utterly glorious designs by Gary McCann, who must have seen the date 1905 and decided to have the most fun one can have ...

   Does 'The Merry Widow' have a director?

   • That may not seem to have much to do with The Merry Widow, but the National Theatre comedy and Glyndebourne’s new production of Lehár’s operetta share the same director in Cal McCrystal. When he is in charge, expect high jinks, pratfalls and slapstick. One sympathises with the challenge facing the director of any classic Viennese operetta.

   Is there a real Merry Widow?

   • In the end, the real Merry Widow cannot be found here. It has been usurped by a high-octane comedy show, more McCrystal than Lehár, but very slick and giving 120 per cent towards hitting every funny bone in the body. This audience loved it, which is possibly recommendation enough.

   Who sings Merry Widow?

   • The music is in the expert hands of John Wilson, who entices the London Philharmonic Orchestra to some effervescent playing. The opera is sung in a new English version by Stephen Plaice and Marcia Bellamy, pepped up, one imagines, with added puns and double entendres by McCrystal. In the end, the real Merry Widow cannot be found here.
