1910 Merry Widow Friday Night Plans

1910 vintage postcard.. When Franz Lehar’s operetta, The Merry Widow, first premiered in Vienna in 1905, it rapidly became a cultural phenomenon of unprecedented proportions. The story of a wealthy widow being pursued by fortune-seeking men desperately trying to tie up her time so she can be theirs. A marvelous rhyme about her Friday night arrangements accompanies a box seat vignette. This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.

FRIDAY
Her next number on the programme
Is to hear an opera with one she admires
For a new matrimonial alliance
She already desires.
