Glyndebourne's first-ever staging of The Merry Widow impresses visually, with Gary McCann's opulent Hollywood-inspired design and Carrie-Anne Ingrouille's witty, athletic choreography.
Director Cal McCrystal brings his signature physical comedy to this newly translated production, offering a bold and imaginative take on the operetta, supported by the flawless playing of the London Philharmonic Orchestra under John Wilson.
