The Merry Widow (Die lustige Witwe) is an operetta by the Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehar. The librettists, Viktor Léon and Leo Stein, based the story - concerning a rich widow, and her countrymen's attempt to keep her money in the principality by finding her the right husband - on an 1861 comedy play, L'attaché d'ambassade (The Embassy Attaché) by Henri Meilhac. The operetta has enjoyed extraordinary international success since its 1905 premiere in Vienna and continues to be frequently revived.
Well-known music from the score includes the "Vilja Song", "Da geh' ich zu Maxim" ("You'll Find Me at Maxim's"), and the "Merry Widow Waltz" ("Lippen schweigen" - "I Love You So" - "Ballsirenen")...
It was Lehár's first major success, becoming internationally the best-known operetta of its era.
