The Sound of Music at Belk Theater

Ever since Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, alongside esteemed playwrights Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, created ‘The Sound Of Music’, it became clear that it has been destined for international triumphs.

A musical with a more sizable amount of adored numbers is yet to be written; a musical that can remain as apt and loved for nearly seven decades as ‘The Sound Of Music’ does not exist; and a tale as wonderful, yet touching on major social issues, is yet to be created.

No other musical has been revisited as many times, had more performances around the globe, and has been received with more acclaim than ‘The Sound Of Music’. Since its premiere in 1959, it has received five Tony Awards, a Theatre World Award, and an Outer Critics Circle Special Award, alongside many nominations. ‘The Sound Of Music’ has also been adapted into an award-winning film released in 1965, and still enjoyed around the globe.

‘The Sound Of Music’, inspired by Maria von Trapp’s ‘The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, follows the tale of Maria, a free-spirited nun, who after stepping in as the governess of the seven children of Captain Georg von Trapp, brings back music and happiness to the family. The family is faced with many obstacles - from the threat the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany to the inevitable romance between Captain von Trapp - man who vowed to marry another, and Maria, who vowed to remain a nun.

The truth is that there is plenty to admire about ‘The Sound Of Music’: from the unbelievable expertise of stellar cast featuring actors and actresses both young and old, to the ageless, wonderful music that gets stuck in every mind without any effort; from the glorious orchestral delivery to the sets that float effortlessly from a grey cathedral to the old Austrian grandeur of the Von Trapp house; from the feel-good tale about overcoming adversity and delightful tale of love, resilience, and music to the powerhouse cast that embodies their parts with excellence, delivers the music with command, and steals hearts from the get-go.

The song is spot-on: the hills are indeed alive with the sound of music, and this fall, you’ll sing once more.
