The World’s most loved musical
The Sound of Music cast heads to Montecasino in Joburg after spectacular sell-out Artscape season!
After an unprecedented sell-out season at the Artscape Opera House, Pieter Toerien and Cape Town Opera’s stunning production of the World’s most loved Family Musical – The Sound of Music – ended its record-breaking month long run on 14 January 2024. Seen by over 51 000 delighted theatre-goers of all ages, this highly-acclaimed musical saw every single show sold out, with nightly standing ovations.
The brilliant cast that stars Cape Town Opera House Soloist Brittany Smith as Maria, Nadia Beukes as Frau Schraeder, Craig Urbani as Captain von Trapp, Wiliam Berger as Max and Janelle Visagie as the Mother Abbess, is now headed to Johannesburg where the production begins previewing on 27 January at the Teatro at Montecasino where it runs until 3 March 2024. With the first week already sold out, Joburg audiences are urged to book swiftly.
With musical direction by Kevin Kraak, the show includes songs such as I Have Confidence, Do-Re-Mi, So Long, Farewell, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, Sixteen Going On Seventeen, Edelweiss, and of course the title song, The Sound Of Music.
The show offers enchanting visuals, with set design by Denis Hutchinson, lighting design by Faheem Bardien, costumes coordinated by Maritha Visagie, and choreography by Duane Alexander. Sound design is by Mark Malherbe.
The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Von Trapp, follows a young nun in-training, who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire Von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
The original stage production won six Tony awards, including Best Musical, and was then adapted into the five-time Oscar-winning film, which went on to become the most-successful movie musical of all time.
Don’t miss The Sound of Music, presented for a whole new generation of musical fans.
