July 22: “The Merry Widow.” Rebroadcast of a 2015 Metropolitan Opera production of Franz Lehár’s popular operetta about love, intrigue, and misadventures in turn-of-the-century Vienna. A prince is ordered to court a rich widow lest her millions be lost to his country’s treasury. Reluctant at first, he soon finds he is falling in love. The score is characterized by delightful, lilting melodies and many familiar arias—among them “Maxim’s,” “Vilja,” and “The Merry Widow Waltz.” Stars Renée Fleming, Nathan Gunn, and Kelli O’Hara. 1 p.m. Cinemark only.
