EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of actress Elizabeth Firth as she dons the iconic feather hat of the merry widow, Natalie, in the 1907 production of Lehár's beloved operetta of the same name. The Edwardian-era costume, designed to showcase Firth's allure and charisma, is a breathtaking spectacle of opulence and elegance. The headdress, composed mostly of feathers, is a true masterpiece of theatrical design, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to Firth's portrayal of the merry widow. The Merry Widow, first performed in 1905, was an instant success and remains a popular staple of the operetta genre. Lehár's music and libretto, based on the short story "Lady Macbeth of the Meadows" by Hungarian writer Ferenc Molnár, tells the story of a wealthy widow, Hanna Glawari, who must choose a husband to keep her tax-exempt status in her native country of Brabant. The production, set against the backdrop of European high society, was a visual and musical feast, with elaborate costumes and stunning sets that transported audiences to another world. Elizabeth Firth's portrayal of Natalie, Popoff, in this 1907 production, was a critical and commercial success. Her performance in the iconic feather hat became a symbol of the operetta's enduring popularity and continues to inspire fashion and design to this day. This photograph is a testament to the power of theatrical costume and the magic of the stage.
