Opera - The Merry Widow on

Join us for an outdoor Opera evening in one of the most unique London summer evenings!

After last year's success, we have decided to come back to Holland Park for another evening full of laughter, songs, and good wines!!

Doors open at 5.30 pm and, we suggest arriving at 6.00 pm. We will meet at the entrance of Holland Park Opera to be taken to a table reserved for us. Performances start at 7.30. there is an interval at 8.30-45 pm for 30 minutes. The performance ends around 9.35 / 9.45 and we can go back to our table if we want until it closes at 11 pm. A picnic from an Italian Deli will be served. It will be a Bring Your Own (BYO) bottle.  This is meant to be more about relaxing and networking and less about speakers or wine information.

Please find below the description from Holland Park Opera:

Lehár’s delicious comedy of bankruptcy, infidelity, social climbing and the rekindling of romance between two old flames receives a new spin in the first of two co-productions between Opera Holland Park, Scottish Opera and D’Oyly Carte Opera in the 2025 Season. With his family’s finances on the verge of collapse, Zeta must engineer a marriage between the playboy Danilo and Hanna, once considered too low-born to be Danilo’s bride but now a very wealthy and very independent widow. Against a backdrop of lavishly themed parties, spectacular dances, political intrigue and a subplot of brewing romance between Zeta’s wife, Valencienne, and her hapless suitor Camille, Hanna and Danilo begin to fall in love once more, now a little older and a great deal wiser.
