Kelli O'Hara goes from Broadway to the Met!

Broadway superstar Kelli O'Hara is set to make her debut at the vaunted Metropolitan Opera later this year in a new production of THE MERRY WIDOW directed by multi-Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman and a new video preview of the production currently in rehearsals is now available to view, as well as an interview with the featured star and director.

The officiald description of THE MERRY WIDOW is as follows: "The great Renée Fleming stars as the beguiling femme fatale who captivates all Paris in Lehár's enchanting operetta, seen in a new staging by Broadway virtuoso director and choreographer Susan Stroman (The Producers, Oklahoma!, Contact). Stroman and her design team of Julian Crouch (Satyagraha, The Enchanted Island) and costume designer William Ivey Long (Cinderella, Grey Gardens, Hairspray) have created an art-nouveau setting that climaxes with singing and dancing grisettes at the legendary Maxim's. Nathan Gunn co-stars as Danilo and Kelli O'Hara is Valencienne. Mezzo-soprano diva Susan Graham takes on the title role later in the run. Sir Andrew Davis and Fabio Luisi conduct."

More information on THE MERRY WIDOW is available at the official site here.
