Notes and Editorial Reviews

First Time on CD!

Coloratura soprano Patrice Munsel is among the great featured singers in this 1964 Broadway cast album of Franz Lehar's charming The Merry Widow. Actress Joan Weldon and character actor Mischa Auer also star with Bob Wright, Siegfried Arno, and Frank Porretta in this collectible recording.

The most popular of all Viennese operettas, The Merry Widow features a richly melodic score including the beloved “Vilja” and a bouquet of unforgettable waltzes. Produced by Richard Rodgers, The Merry Widow was conducted by the Tony-winning maestro and operetta specialist, Franz Allers (My Fair Lady, Camelot).
