CCO's The Sound of Music, will be running in Denver only at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in the Denver Performing Arts Complex from August 2 through August 10. The original Broadway production opened in 1959, and the show has enjoyed numerous productions and revivals since then. It was adapted as a 1965 film musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, and won five Academy Awards. The Sound of Music will be performed in English.

Based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp's The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, Maria is a sweet young nun in training whose love of freedom makes it obvious to her superiors that she is not quite suited for religious life. She is sent off to be the governess to Captain von Trapp's seven troublesome children, and unlike past governess', Maria becomes friends with the children due to their mutual love of music. Even the strict Captain begins to admire Maria and eventually, the Captain and Maria fall in love and are married. All seems right in the world of the von Trapps until the Nazis invade their homeland, Austria, and the whole family is forced to flee over the Alps to escape. Many songs from the musical have become classics sung by young and old, including "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "Do-Re-Mi," "The Sound of Music," and many more.
