Prepare to be enchanted by one of the most beloved musicals of all time, The Sound of Music. This timeless classic tells the heartwarming story of Maria, a spirited young nun who brings joy and music back into the lives of the Von Trapp family.

As Maria teaches the seven children to sing and finds herself falling for their widowed father, Captain Von Trapp, the family must also navigate the growing threat of Nazi occupation. With its unforgettable score featuring iconic songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” and “Edelweiss,” this production promises to captivate audiences of all ages.

Join us for a journey of love, courage, and the transformative power of music. With lush, sweeping melodies and touching narrative, CVLT’s first production of The Sound of Music in 30 years transports you to a world where music and family triumph over adversity.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the magic and inspiration of a show that has resonated with generations.
