On December 19th I went to see the sound of music at the Ordway. This show is about Maria, a young women in Austria who was pursuing to be a nun. However, she was sent by Mother Abbess to be a governess for the seven children of the Von Trapp family. She quickly fell in love with captian Von Trapp and they got married. Unfortunatly, the nazi’s called on captain Von Trapp to serve in their navy. Although, during a singing festival that the family was entered in, Maria, captain Von Trapp, and all seven children escaped.
Now, _____ played Mother Abbess in this rendetion of The Sound of Music. She is trained as an opera singer and has been in multiple operas. Given her background her singing skills were phenomanal and she has a
rather large range as she had many low and extremely high notes. Also, with how high she was singing her diction was great. However, when Mother Abbess and all the other nuns were singing together I was a little disappointed because it was very difficult to understand what they were saying. Overall though it was an amazing show and wish I could see it again.
