CREATIVE CUTS - The Sound of Music

The hills are alive in Caloundra as the Chorale & Theatre Company presents a new production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved musical, The Sound of Music. This timeless story follows Maria, a spirited novice nun who brings music and joy to the household of the widowed Captain von Trapp and his seven children. Set against the shadow of the impending Anschluss, it is a tale of love, resilience, and the power of song to unite a family.

Directing the production is Chloe Musgrove (pictured), making her mainstage debut. A long-time member of CCTC, Chloe first appeared with the company in 2000 before completing Musical Theatre studies at WAAPA and later a Master of Teaching at USC.

She now returns as director of CCTC’s youth program “Next Generation.”

Acclaimed baritone Daniel Smerdon, whose career has taken him from Brisbane to Europe and the USA, joins the cast, bringing his extensive operatic experience to the stage.

Evening performances run from October 10 - 19, plus some matinee shows, at CCTC Theatre 3 Piringa St, Wurtulla. Bookings essential, visit: trybooking.com/deets or phone 0490 329 912.
