CAIRO – 20 February 2018: “The Merry Widow”, an operetta by Franz Lehár, will be presented in the Arabic language at the main hall of the Cairo Opera House. The operetta will be performed in four evenings from February 22-26. It is directed by Mahdy El Sayed.

“The Merry Widow” contains dazzling music and an interesting plot – a mix of farce and romance with operetta spirit. In 1961, late acclaimed soprano Ratiba El-Hefny performed the leading role in Arabic at Cairo's Old Opera House.

It is expected that the next show of “The Merry Widow” will be performed by soloists from the Cairo Opera Company, the Cairo Opera Orchestra, the Cairo Opera Choir and the Cairo Opera Ballet Company headed by Erminia Kamel.

“The Merry Widow” will host a number of talents from the Cairo Opera Company, such as Hanna Glawari: Iman Moustafa; Count Danilo: Moustafa Mohamed/Hisham El Guindy; Valencienne: Mona Rafla/Ingy Mohsen; Camille de Rosillon: Amr Medhat/Tamer Tawfik; Baron Zeta: Abdel Wahab El Sayed; Niegus: Ezzat Ghanem/Elhamy Amin; Cascada: Ibrahim Nagui; Saint Brioch: Ossama Ali; Olga: Laila Ibrahim; Praskowia: Ossama Tantawy; Bogdanowitsch: Fouad Ali; Kromow: Ramez Lebbad; Sylviane: Nesrine Roshdy; and Pritschitch: Ossama Gamal.
