“This is not music,” said the theater director, covering his ears as The Merry Widow was presented to him. The year was 1905 and the authors were asked to leave the Theater an der Wien immediately.

With unwavering faith in their work, they remained despite everything and fought under impossible conditions. Against all odds, the creators, along with the ensemble, pushed The Merry Widow to its premiere. The low budget production which later became the most played and loved operetta in the world.

Pang Boom Crash – a Widow is Born is a riveting story about the people behind the hit. About the passion for music and performing arts in a euphoric and contradictory period at the beginning of the last century. In a pre-war era where arms race and nationalism lurked beneath the innocent surface. A development then that is reminiscent of Europe today. Andrea Tarrodi’s newly composed music is a bridge to the classic and well-known music from The Merry Widow by Franz Lehàr. A rare musical meeting between past and present with text by Andreas Boonstra. After an idea by Jonas Nerbe.
