Our Take

NPO / BONYNGE Lehar / The Merry Widow (Hlts)

If you thought you were in for a snooze-fest with this classic operetta, think again. NPO and BONYNGE deliver a refreshing take on Lehar's The Merry Widow, injecting a much-needed dose of energy and excitement into the timeless repertoire.

From the moment those strings kick in on "Vilja Lied", you'll find yourself transported to a world where champagne flows freely and love is always in the air. The orchestra's vibrant interpretations bring new life to these familiar melodies, making you want to dance and sing along.

But it's not just the music that shines on this album. The vocal performances are top-notch, with each singer bringing their own unique style and charm to their respective roles. Whether it's the sultry seduction of Hanna Glawari or the comedic timing of Baron Zeta, every character is brought to life with flair and personality.

So if you're looking for a delightful escape from the ordinary, NPO and BONYNGE's The Merry Widow is the perfect pick-me-up. With its irresistible blend of romance, comedy, and pure musical joy, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Cheers to that!
