Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved masterwork, “The Sound of Music,” has captivated audiences for 60 years. 

The winner of multiple Tony and Academy Awards is being presented by Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company in May. This extraordinary production tells the story of a young novice, Maria Ranier, sent by her convent to be a nanny to the seven children of a widowed naval captain, then fills the house with love and music. The love story of Maria and the captain is set against the poignant backdrop of the Nazi occupation of Austria.

A full, professional orchestra accompanies the award-winning score.
