Lake Mac Centre at Warners Bay will be hosting a brand new production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s last collaboration The Sound of Music. It is based on the story of The Von Trapp Family Singers who fled Austria as the Nazis moved in. Joint Directors Anna Lambert & PJ Willis have an excellent cast including two sets of the Von Trapp children, and a stellar group of principals. Maria will be played by Rachel Davies, fresh from her triumph in Wicked, and Hayley Doherty who played The Countess in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro in 2016. Noted Novocastrian performer John Radvan returns to the theatre as The Captain and his daughter Liliana plays one of the children Marta.

The lovely Alison Lobb plays Elsa Schrader the baroness who has plans to marry Captain von Trapp, despite the obstacle of seven children. The urbane entrepreneur Max Detweiler is played by Malcolm Young. The prize roll of The Mother Abbess is shared by Hayley Doherty & Anthea Harrington, both bringing their own magic to the wonderful Climb Every Mountain. The women’s chorus of Nuns  are led by Hannah Buck, Alexandra Cuthbert-Freese, & Nerida Walker with an excellent cast of ensemble singers.

Rolf Gruber, the young Nazi is played by Ezekiel Weedon, and his young romantic interest, Liesl, the eldest Von Trapp daughter, is played by Tashana Hardy and Grace Hughes. Other roles are played by James Walker, Zac Smith, Linda Bennett, Evan Graham & David Sivyer. The timeless score has a constant barrage of hit songs including Climb Every Mountain, My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going On Seventeen, The Lonely Goatherd, & The Sound of Music.

Conductor Christopher Bearmann OAM returns from Tasmania to conduct members of the Lake Macquarie Philharmonic Orchestra. Christopher has conducted The Yeomen of the Guard, The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni for Opera Hunter. He will return to conduct the 2018 season of The Lake Macquarie Philharmonic Orchestra on Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th November. Music Director is Mercia Buck OAM.
