The Sound of Music
14th to 18th February 2012
Rochdale Amateur Operatic Society brings to you the popular musical The Sound of Music after
their highly acclaimed production of Sweeney Todd last February.
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical.
When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for
the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her
generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from
their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate
service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II
provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.
