About this Event
The Sound of Music is a heart-warming musical set on the eve of the annexation of Austria in 1938. It tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a widowed Naval Captain with seven children, while deciding whether to become a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their father, Captain von Trapp. However he is ordered to accept a commission in the German Navy, but he opposes the Nazis, so he and Maria decide on a plan to flee to Switzerland with the children.
Directed by one of NZ’s leading music-theatre professionals Cherie Moore, and featuring a stellar cast of talented actors from St Cuthbert’s and Auckland Grammar, the show will transport you back to wartime Germany through song and dance.
You will recognise classic songs in the show, such as “Do-Re-Mi”, “My Favourite Things”, "Climb Ev'ry Mountain”, and the title song “The Sound of Music”.
The show features lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein and music by Richard Rodgers.
Student ID will be checked on entry for STUDENT tickets purchased.
