Opening Dance & Finale
Entrance & March of Peers
For the merriest fellows are we
Never mind the why and wherefore
The hours creep on apace
Overture
Br?derlein
Ach!  Wie ist es m?glich dann!
I once was a very abandoned person
I am a maiden
Take my advice, when deep in debt
Were I thy bride
Excerpt from Finale Act I


Overture
Climbing over rocky mountain
On a tree by a river
Hark the hour of ten is sounding
I hear the soft note
Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest
Ho, jolly jenkin
Easter Hymn
Who are you, sir?
Time was when love and I
Now wouldn't you like
The Merry Widow waltz
Then I may sing and play
The long day closes
Once more, gondolieri
