The Sound of Music at San Diego Civic Theatre

Ever since Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, alongside playwrights Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, created what would be their very last masterpiece, ‘The Sound Of Music’ became one of the world’s most renowned stage productions.

A musical with a larger amount of well-known numbers is yet to be written; a musical that can remain as relevant and treasured for nearly seven decades as ‘The Sound Of Music’ does not exist; and a tale as heart-warming, yet filled with major social issues, is yet to be created.

To date, theatrical favorite has been revived numerous times - all to much acclaim. 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 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 troubles - from the imminent Nazi-threat brought about by the Anschluss to the blooming romance between Captain von Trapp - man who vowed to marry another, and Maria, who vowed to remain a nun.

There is no doubt that there is plenty to adore about ‘The Sound Of Music’: from the incredible musical prowess of the oldest nun right down to the youngest Von Trapp child, to the timeless, delightful music that you’ll remember for years to come; from the rich orchestrations to the stunningly handcrafted sets that change effortlessly from a grey cathedral to the old Austrian magnificence of the Von Trapp house; from the nostalgic tale about overcoming hardship and heartwarming tale of love, resilience, and music to the highly talented cast that carries their parts with perfection, delivers the music with proficiency, and steals hearts from the first notes.

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