@

On November 29, 2026, at 18:00 in the Oświęcim Cultural Center, performed by the artists of the Arte Creatura Musical Theater, Franz Lehár's operetta — a masterpiece of the operetta genre with the hit “The mouth is silent, the soul sings”, entitled “Merry Widow” will take place.

Franz Lehár's iconic operetta “The Merry Widow” is full of frivolous humor and beautiful melodies that have entertained and touched audiences around the world for years. It is recognized as the best and most often played operetta, overflowing with the stunts themselves with the biggest hit of operetta scenes “The mouth is silent, the soul sings”.

Excellent SOLOISTS, great ORCHESTRA, energizing DANCE, tasteful COSTUMES and wonderful VOICES.

Performed by the Arte Creatura Musical Theater, a full musical performance with colorful costumes, refined choreography and original scenography! On the stage there are soloists of international music scenes, winners of vocal competitions, who delight the audience with excellent voices and amuse to tears with the vicissitudes of the main characters. They are accompanied by the Arte Creatura Theatre Orchestra composed of outstanding musicians, virtuosos of their instruments, under the direction of renowned conductors.

The widow of the title is young Hanna Glawari, whose husband, a wealthy banker, dies after only eight days of marriage, leaving her with an incredible fortune. The banker was a citizen of the small principality of Pontevedro, therefore the widow, or rather her property, arouses general interest. The Pontevedra treasury minister himself advises subordinates to take care of a woman so that she does not marry a foreigner and her money does not go abroad. Meanwhile, Hanna goes to Paris, where she meets a compatriot and her former love — Count Daniła. Once their relationship was opposed by Daniła's family, as Hanna was a poor virgin, now pride takes away the Count's courage to reveal his feelings. He does not propose until he learns that in the event of a remarriage, Hannah's estate will be forfeited. This is, of course, a social treasure, but about it on the show!

“Merry Widow” has been entertaining the audience for years with a bold and witty libretto and gripping music. The production on Broadway in New York in 1944, directed by Jan Kiepura himself, with him and Martha Eggert in the lead roles, gained worldwide fame.

The main roles will be performed by the artists of the Arte Creatura Music Theater, including: Natalia Piechowiak/Maria Hubluk as Hanna Glawari, Jarosław Wewióra as Count Daniło Danilowitsch, Wioletta Liber/Kornelia Wojnarowska/Magdalena Okońska as Valencienne, Tomasz Świerczek/Chaoran Zuo as Camille de Rosillon, Adam Żynarowska Aak as Baron Mirko Zeta, Tomasz Kostek/Grzegorz Biernacki as Vicomte Cascada, Paweł Soduła as Raoul de St. Brioche, Marcin Konopacki/Paweł Bielawski as Bogdanowitsch, Grażyna Bieniek-Żaak as Sylviane, Monika Mazur/ Aleksandra Rusek as Olga, Agnieszka Styblińska-Elbin/Roksana Wiercigroch as Praskowia, Piotr Rybak/Marcin Włosiński as Njegus.
