Franz Lehár ( 30 April 1870 – 24 October
1948) was an Austro-Hungarian composer.
He is mainly known for his operettas, of
which the most successful and best known is The Merry Widow (Die
lustige Witwe).
Lehár was born in the northern part of Komárom Kingdom of Hungary
(now Komárno, Slovakia), the eldest son of Franz Lehár (senior)
(1838–1898),an Austrian bandmaster in the Infantry Regiment No. 50
of the Austro-Hungarian Army and Christine Neubrandt (1849–1906), a
Hungarian woman from a family of German descent. He grew up speaking
only Hungarian until the age of 12. Later he put an acute accent
above the "a" of his father's surname "Lehár" to indicate the vowel
in the corresponding Hungarian orthography.
He is most famous for his operettas –
the most successful of which is The Merry Widow (Die lustige Witwe)
– but he also wrote sonatas, symphonic poems and marches. He also
composed a number of waltzes (the most popular being Gold und
Silber, composed for Princess Pauline von Metternich's "Gold and
Silver" Ball, January 1902), some of which were drawn from his
famous operettas. Individual songs from some of the operettas have
become standards, notably "Vilja" from The Merry Widow and "You Are
My Heart's Delight" ("Dein ist mein ganzes Herz") from The Land of
Smiles (Das Land des Lächelns). His most ambitious work, Giuditta in
1934 is closer to opera than to operetta. It contains the ever
popular "Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiß" ("On my lips every kiss
is like wine")
He died aged 78 in 1948 in Bad Ischl,
near Salzburg, and was buried there. His younger brother Anton
became the administrator of his estate, promoting the popularity of
Franz Lehár's music.
