November Kids: Plenty to do indoors!

Ella Navarro & Shifa Rahaman

The Sound of Music
almost daily until Dec 31; Det Ny Teater, Gammel Kongevej 29, Cph V; 200-575kr; detnyteater.dk

Immortalised by Robert Wise’s film, which won five Oscars in 1965, this all-time classic will be performed until the end of the year at Det Ny Teater.
The musical is directed by Daniel Bohr, who has staged other major classics at the theatre including Annie and Evita. And this time it is the turn of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music, a love story set in the late 1930s in Austria, a country fast approaching war.

Captain Von Trapp is a widower whose wife has passed away leaving him with seven children and a lot of sadness in his heart. He has lost happiness. Maria, a young novice at a convent, who doesn’t look she has what it takes to be a nun, is sent by the abbess to take care of the Von Trapp children. The children are really naughty and several frauleins have passed through without success, but Maria wins their hearts and brings music back into the house. And yes, they fall in love.
Expect wonderful performances from the whole cast – most particularly the children and Danish actress Maria Lucia Heiberg Rosenberg, whose depiction of Fraulein Maria channels Julie Andrews to perfection. Also unforgettable is the world-famous Danish opera singer Lisbeth Balslev as the abbess. Her songs are beyond compare and true to her reputation.

Recommended for all ages, it’s a night for the whole family, so make sure you don’t miss it! (EN)
