The Sound of Music

May 12, 2023  

Is it possible for a song to be too familiar? Try singing ‘the hills are alive…’ without finishing the line and immediately being transported high into the Austrian Alps.

In their last collaboration, Rodgers and Hammerstein created many of the most evocative and enduring songs of all time and packaged them in arguably one of the most beloved musicals The Sound of Music.

Transcending generations, this nostalgic masterpiece is a cultural touchstone, captivating audiences since 1959 and continues drawing in new fans year after year. This story follows the lives of Maria and the Von Trapp family as they navigate the challenges of family, love, loyalty and freedom under the growing shadow of pre-war Europe.

This year’s production ‘The Sound of Music’ is sure to be another huge hit! Re-discover the joys of these classic songs, brought to life by the talented students and staff of The Illawarra Grammar School. Tickets have already started selling fast, book yours today for the best seat in the house.
