Everybody loves a tale of a hopefully-lucky suitor courting a rich widow, right? The Texas Ballet Theater is teaming up with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra to bring you The Merry Widow, which is adapted from the operetta of the same name. It’s basically just like “Millionaire Matchmaker,” with the money and the yearning for love except we have a feeling it’s actually nothing like it at all. Instead, this show is probably a bit classier with ballerinas telling a story of a wealthy widow, a potential suitor, added with a lot of romantic confusion. See it 8 p.m. Friday or Saturday or 2 p.m. Saturday or Sunday at the Bass Performance Hall, 525 Commerce St., Fort Worth. Tickets start at $15 at texasballettheater.org.
Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: Feb. 7. Continues through Feb. 8, 2015
