He died on October 24, 1948 in Bad Ischl.

From 1882, after attending the high, he studied violin, music theory and composition at the Prague Conservatory with Josef Foerster, Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k and Zden\u011bk Fibich among others. His musical career began as an orchestral musician in Barmen and Elberfeld. Afterwards he was a military bandmaster of the k.u.k. Army stationed in Trieste, Budapest and Vienna, among others. Thanks to some great successes, he was soon able to live solely on his compositional work.<br \/>\nFranz Leh\u00e1r composed some vocal works, orchestral works, waltzes and even some operas. However, his main focus was on the operetta. Together with Oscar Straus, Emmerich K\u00e1lm\u00e1n and Leo Fall, Leh\u00e1r is one of the founders of the so-called \u201cSilver Operetta Era\u201d. His most famous works include &#8220;The Merry Widow&#8221;, &#8220;The Count of Luxembourg&#8221;, &#8220;Gypsy Love&#8221;, &#8220;The Tsarevich&#8221; and &#8220;Guiditta&#8221;.<br \/>\n<div class=\"gdc_row\"><div class=\"gdc_column gdc_cthird\"><div class=\"gdc_inner\"><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe video shows Jonas Kaufmann and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra under the baton of Michael Guttler with the aria &#8220;Friends life is worth living&#8221; from the operetta &#8220;Guiditta&#8221;. The initial notes of the aria are also shown on the Hungarian stamp and the positive message of the text has not lost its validity even in these times of the Corona crisis.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"gdc_column gdc_ctwo-thirds\"><div class=\"gdc_inner\"><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qKX2SQJeEWs?controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/font><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the son of a military bandmaster, Leh\u00e1r early showed musical talent.
