The Sound of Music at Belk Theater

Ever since Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, alongside playwrights Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, created ‘The Sound Of Music’, it became clear that what would be their very last work, has been destined for international success.

No musical can come close to ‘The Sound Of Music’ when it comes to the amount of adored and well-known numbers; no musical has ever been able to remain relevant despite its age as ‘The Sound Of Music’; and a tale as heart-warming, yet bravely addressing 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 as much triumph as ‘The Sound Of Music’. It racked up no less than 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 that has been enjoyed all around the globe for generations.

‘The Sound Of Music’, inspired by the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp, follows the tale of Maria, a free-spirited nun, who after being appointed 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 romance brewing between Captain von Trapp - man who vowed to marry another, and Maria, a nun.

There is no doubt that there is plenty to love about ‘The Sound Of Music’: from the remarkable stagecraft of stellar cast featuring actors and actresses both young and old, to the classic, superb music that you’ll remember for years to come; from the lush sounding orchestra to the sets that change effortlessly from a grey cathedral to the old Austrian splendour of the Von Trapp house; from the nostalgic tale about overcoming adversity and an innocent love that blooms like the Edelweiss itself to the highly talented cast that embodies their roles with excellence, masterfully delivers the much-adored music, and steals hearts from the moment the curtain rises.

They were right: the world is indeed alive with ‘The Sound Of Music’.
