Info

Franz Léhar wurde am 30.4.1870 geboren. Er absolvierte eine Ausbildung am Prager Konservatorium. Sein größter Erfolg war die Operette "Die lustige Witwe", die ihn auf der ganzen Welt berühmt machte. In seiner Musik verarbeitete Léhar slawische Einflüsse ebenso wie Elemente aus der Musik Wiens oder Frankreichs. Eine Besonderheit, die Léhar als erster Komponist überhaupt anwandte war der nachstellte Tanz nach einem Gesangsteil. Zu seinen berühmtesten Kompositionen gehörten u.a. "Der Graf von Luxemburg", "Das Land des Lächelns" oder "Giuditta". Am 24.10.1948 starb Franz Léhar in Bad Ischl.
