Singers Needed for "The Sound of Music" Show

(musical theatre mix/soprano, dance) A postulant at Nonnberg Abbey – free spirited, warm, gentle and kind with much determination.

(baritone, moves well) A retired Austrian naval captain. Polished, yet very military in the way he runs his life to repress his sadness over the death of his wife; underneath, he is warm, understanding, and determined.

(tenor/baritone, moves well) Charming and vital; a man of sophistication who enjoys the good life; true and loyal friend to the von Trapp family.

(mezzo soprano, moves well) A baroness of taste and elegance, sophisticated, dignified and mature.

(legit soprano, wide vocal range, very strong actress) Motherly, understanding, strong and authoritative, but kind.

(alto, moves well) Mistress of Novices, prudish, straight laced with a quick tongue, she is less tolerant than other nuns.

(mezzo, moves well) Mistress of Postulants, very kind, understanding and concerned.

(soprano, moves well) Neither demanding nor critical, sticks with the rules.

(non-singing) The von Trapp butler, rather formal but not without spirit, he is very German and loyal to the Fascist cause.

(non-singing) The housekeeper, stoic, very little personality; she does her job efficiently but without affection. Strong and somewhat dominating.

(non-singing) Stern and unsmiling, a typical nazi official whose primary concern is to see that everyone toes the line.

5-10 male chorus members to play nazi soldiers, neighbors, Salzburg citizens and Georg’s friends (of naval background).

10-20 female chorus members – to play Salzburg citizens, new postulant, nuns, novices, postulants and contestants in the Festival Concert.
