Based loosely on The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, Rodgers and Hammerstein's adaptation, The Sound of Music, remains one of the most widely admired American musicals almost 50 years after its premiere on Broadway. Filled with memorable songs including "Edelweiss," "Do-Re-Mi," "My Favorite Things," and "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," The Sound of Music beautifully blends a remarkable family's journey with the political landscape of Austria in World War II.

Directed by DTC Artistic Director Emeritus Richard Hamburger, this production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's popular masterwork marks the first time the renowned Salzburg Marionette Theatre has presented an American musical, as well as the first time the acclaimed company has performed in Dallas.
