The Austrian Alps come to the rolling hills of Tulsa when the most beloved musical of all time do-re-mis its way onto the Tulsa Opera stage. Based on the true story of the singing von Trapp family and their courageous escape from the Nazis during World War II, The Sound of Music contains wall-to-wall hits such as “Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things,” “Climb Every Mountain”, and of course, the title tune. Our semi-staged and costumed concert features award-winning Broadway star Jenn Gambatese (Tarzan, Wicked, Hairspray) as the irrepressible Maria; Tulsa’s favorite leading man Sam Briggs as the rugged-yet-refined Captain von Trapp; and international opera legend Leona Mitchell as the Mother Abbess.

The Sound of Music

Tulsa Community College Southeast Campus

Hosted by visionary curator Deborah Grace Winer, Songbook Sundays returns to Dizzy’s Club with an evening honoring one of the most iconic duos in the history of show standards. Many know Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for the enduring brilliance of Oklahoma!, Carousel, The King and I, and The Sound of Music– all of which receive inventive reimagining from each new generation of Broadway creators. But few understand the depth of their commitment to addressing social issues through music, lyrics, and character development. Don’t miss this exploratory evening that features a roster of intergenerational talent: Karrin Allyson, Jenn Gambatese, and Tyreek McDole.
