Franz Lehar: The Merry Widow

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ronald Hynd's three act ballet "The Merry Widow" to the music of Franz Lehár is an exciting studio production, performed by the superb National Ballet of Canada. The Australian dancer John Meehan gives an outstanding performance in the role of Count Danilo, who is ordered by the Pontevedrian Embassy to avert their impending bankruptcy by marrying into the fortunes of the recently widowed Hanna Glawari beautifully portrayed by the Canadian prima ballerina Karen Kain. Raymond Smith dances the part of the French attaché, Camille, who falls madly in love with the Ambassador's wife, Valencienne (Yoko Ichino).

REVIEW
Karen Kain and John Meehan make a most engaging Widow and Count Danilo, while Yoko Ichino and Raymond Smith are kept very busy in their substantial secondary roles. All four are accomplished dancers and successfully convey the appropriate degree of comic high-spirits that the ballet requires. --Music Web, Jan'16
