The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. The Sound of Music runs three weekends – June 6th through 22nd. Come experience Austria in 1938, where an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power.
SYNOPSIS
Inspired by the book The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp, The Sound of
Set in 1938 Austria, The Sound of Music tells the story of the irrepressible Maria as she begins to doubt her vocation, leaving her convent to become governess to the seven children of Captain von Trapp, a widower and retired naval officer. She soon turns the Captain’s orderly life upside down and instills a love of music in his, as well as in each of his children’s hearts. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a difficult decision that will change their lives forever.
Featuring a treasure trove of cherished songs, including Climb Ev’ry Mountain, The Sound of Music, My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, and Sixteen Going on Seventeen, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars in the much-loved 1965 film version featuring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
