The Chinese version of “The Sound of Music” is being staged at Shenzhen Poly Theater.
With music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, the musical is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers.”
Set in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, the musical tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German navy, but he opposes the Nazis. He and Maria decide on a plan to flee Austria with the children. Many songs from the musical have become standards, such as “Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “Do-Re-Mi” and the title song “The Sound of Music.”
The original Broadway production opened in 1959 and won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It was adapted as a 1965 film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, which won five Academy Awards.
