Dress in your finest black-tie and waltz the night away at The Tannery Christchurch this July with Toi Toi Opera’s opulent, sparkling new production of Lehár’s timeless operetta, The Merry Widow.

It’s the ultimate ‘will-they, won’t-they’ romance, wrapped up in a glittering world of Parisian parties, secret affairs, and laugh-out-loud comedy, and jam-packed with all those irresistible melodies you know and love. Plus, if you fancy being whisked off your feet by a special someone, you’ll even have a chance to join in the dancing.

Directed by Julian Anderson, with Musical Direction and Arrangement by Jeremy Woodside, and featuring an exquisite Aotearoa NZ cast, chorus, musical, & creative team. A fully-staged immersive production, with piano and string quartet accompaniment.

Bubbly, elegant, and just a little bit scandalous, this is a joyful and enchanting evening that’s guaranteed to leave you humming!

Ticketing: Your choice of general admission or premium table seating (optional prepaid charcuterie platter and glass of bubbly available for premium guests). Each premium cabaret table seats seven. Cash bar available.

Duration/Language: 90 minutes (plus interval with the opportunity to dance), sung in English.
