Lake Harriet Players presents The Sound of Music
The Lake Harriet Players are proud to present one of the best-loved musicals of all time,
The Sound of Music, by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II. This classic tale of hope, generosity, determination and love features the story of the talented von Trapp family in the time leading up to the dark days of World War II in Austria. Maria, on the path to becominga nun, has her world turned upside down when she is sent to serve as governess for a family of seven spirited children and the widowed Capt. von Trapp. What follows is a musical journey filled with timeless favorites such as, “Climb Every Mountain”, “Do-Re-Mi”,“My Favorite Things”, “So Long, Farewell”, “Edelweiss”, and, of course, “The Sound of Music”.
