The final collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. The winner of numerous awards for both its stage and screen adaptations, the play is a heartwarming love story based upon the memoirs of Maria von Trapp. Set against the political unrest of Austria in the late 1930s, the high-spirited novitiate, Maria Rainer, is sent from the Nonnberg Abbey to the home of Captain Georg von Trapp, a widower, to serve as governess to his seven children. A stern military man, Captain von Trapp treats his children like sailors under his command – with discipline and at arm's length. At first wary of their new governess, the von Trapp children are soon won over by Fraulein Maria, who brings laughter and music to their lives, and eventually, love to the lonely Captain von Trapp. Chamber Opera Chicago's fully staged production with orchestra will fill your hearts with THE SOUND OF MUSIC and is sure to be one of your FAVORITE THINGS of the season!

The cast includes Barbara Landis (Maria Rainer), Nick Sandys (Captain von Trapp), Erika Morrison (The Mother Abbess), Anne Marie Lewis (Sister Berthe), Kay Rutherford (Sister Margaretta), Ling Markovitz (Sister Sophia), Jeanne Scherkenbach (Sister Catherine), Sarah McIntyre (Sister Agatha), Kelli Morgan (Elsa Schraeder), Peter Vamvakas (Max Detweiler), Frederic Joseph (Rolf), Sarah Huffman (Liesl), Kenny Lumb (Friedrich), Katherine Hoth (Louisa), Brandon Burkhardt (Kurt), Sarah Markovitz (Brigitta), Tatiana Ranallo (Marta), Karissa Burkhardt (Gretl), Laural Reinhart (Frau Schmidt), Bob Douglas (Franz), David Wojtowicz (Herr Zeller), and a wonderful chorus of nuns!
