EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of actress Elizabeth Firth as she dons the iconic Merry Widow hat in a production of Lehár's operetta of the same name, staged in 1907. In this image, Firth portrays Natalie, the charming and wealthy widow of Count Danilo Danilovic, played by the renowned tenor, Alwynne Taylor. The Merry Widow operetta, a popular Edwardian-era production, premiered in 1905 and quickly gained international acclaim for its witty libretto and memorable music. Firth's Merry Widow hat is a true masterpiece of theatrical costume design. Adorned with an extravagant plume of ostrich feathers, this hat became an instant sensation and was later named after the opera. The hat's elegant design, featuring a narrow brim, high crown, and intricate beading, perfectly complemented the opulent costumes and sets of the production. The actress's ensemble is further enhanced by a choker neckline, adding to the allure and sophistication of her character. The Merry Widow hat and its plume became a symbol of glamour and extravagance during the Edwardian era, inspiring women to adopt this fashionable accessory in their own lives. This photograph is a testament to the enduring impact of the Merry Widow operetta on popular culture and the art of theatrical costume design.
