The timeless musical, The Sound of Music, is set to captivate audiences with its heart-warming story and unforgettable melodies.
On a journey through the Austrian Alps, follow the adventures of Maria, a spirited young novice nun who transforms the lives of the Von Trapp family with her love of music.
Set against the backdrop of pre-World War II Austria, the story begins with Maria leaving the convent to become a governess for the seven children of the widowed Captain von Trapp. Through her warmth, kindness, and musical talent, Maria brings joy and laughter to the von Trapp household, creating a harmonious bond with the children and their stern father. As the threat of war looms, the von Trapp family faces difficult choices that test their courage and resilience.
With iconic songs such as Do-Re-Mi, My Favourite Things and Edelweiss, The Sound of Music is a celebration of love, hope, and the power of music to uplift the human spirit.
Having produced the show previously in 1994 and 2002, this revival directed by Aoife Summers, with musical direction from Jack Gardner, plus choreography from Jayne Orchard and Mirrin Macleay – promises an enchanting evening of theatre, that will leave audiences humming its memorable tunes long after the final curtain call.
