Operetta decadence meets charming cleaning ladies.In Cezary Tomaszewski’s new production worlds of cliché clash when Franz Lehár’s opulently overloaded “The Merry Widow” is cast with four real-life Polish cleaning ladies. Lower class Hanna’s advancement to the Parisian haut monde is thereby projected into Austria’s social present and its foreign workers’ milieu. In an ironic way, the tense relationship between the alleged bourgeoisie and the migration proletariat in the absurd operetta world is breaking apart.
