FROM THE DIRECTOR FAITH, LOVE AND CONSCIENCE: Thoughts on The Sound of Music from Kevin Moriarty, Enloe/Rose Artistic Director It’s the best-known movie musical of all time. It’s hard to imagine a fan of musicals who hasn’t seen the opening shot, the camera swirling in over the Alpine meadows to come down over Julie Andrews, twirling in her apron. But many may not know that the stage musical was commissioned by and created for its original Broadway star: not Julie Andrews, but theater legend Mary Martin (who also created the leading roles in South Pacific and Peter Pan). Opening on Broadway in 1959, The Sound of Music was the last musical that composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II wrote together. Hammerstein was diagnosed with stomach cancer while writing the show and died less than a year after it opened.

KEVIN MORIARTY

Despite having transformed the style and content of Broadway musicals through their bold innovations with Oklahoma!, Carousel, and The King and I, the duo’s final show received mixed reviews when it opened. Some critics found it to be too sentimental and out of step with the times. In the same theater season, praise was heaped on the hard-edged cynicism of Gypsy, whose lyrics were written by Hammerstein’s protégé, Stephen Sondheim, while the Pulitzer Prize for Drama went to the satirical political musical, Fiorerllo!

And yet, audiences instantly fell in love with the show. The musical ran for three and a half years on Broadway and nearly twice as long in London, where it became the longest running musical in British history. The original Broadway cast recording occupied the number one position on the Billboard charts for four months. When the film was released, the soundtrack recording was on the Billboard charts for four and a half years. The songs have become part of the fabric of American musical life (one example: Ariana Grande’s song, “7 Rings,” which is based on the melody of “My Favorite Things,” spent eight weeks at number one in 2019). Despite the ubiquity of the film and the songs, many people don’t know that the play and the movie differ. Songs appear in different contexts and characters have added dimension. We hope that our production will inspire audiences to experience The Sound of Music with fresh eyes and an open heart. The dialogue and music are the same as in the original stage production, but our cast and creative team have attempted to shed any preconceived notions of how the design should look or how the characters should be portrayed. Instead of reproducing an old movie on stage, we are approaching the material as if it were a brand-new play. The Sound of Music illuminates the choices people make when confronted with their deepest fears. Will you open yourself to Paolo Montalban and Sarah Gay with Kevin Moriarty and Alli Franken. PHOTO BY IMANI THOMAS intimacy with someone you love when you are afraid of your desire? Will you allow yourself to be vulnerable with another person when you have experienced the pain of loss? Will you be an upstander when your fellow citizens capitulate to a genocidal dictator? Will you give up your home and risk your family’s safety rather than be complicit with those who espouse evil? Will you follow God’s calling when racked with fear? At its simplest, The Sound of Music is a story about romantic and familial love. But Hammerstein understood that loving someone, and accepting love in return, is rarely simple. Whether comically in Oklahoma! or tragically in Carousel, the vulnerability of loving is a recurring theme in many of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musicals. When Maria enters the convent as a means of hiding from her own desire, the Mother Abbess tells her that she must leave. “What you must find is – how does God want you to spend your love.” For Maria, the widowed Captain and his grieving children, the answer is found in creating a new, blended family. As in all of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s masterpieces, the psychologically driven personal story at the center of The Sound of Music exists within a broader context. Set in Austria in 1938, the love story plays out against the events of the Anschluss, when Hitler’s German army crossed the border into Austria, unopposed by the Austrian military. The Germans were greeted with great enthusiasm and Austria was annexed. Widespread antisemitic actions and political violence followed. Anyone opposing the Nazi rule was subject to arrest, torture and death. Jews were attacked, their businesses seized, their posessions looted. Ultimately, more than 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. One year after the Anschluss, much of the world was plunged into World War II.

In 1959, Broadway audiences would have understood exactly what was at stake for the characters. The people watching


the play had fought in and lived through World War II. They had seen the unimaginable horror of the Holocaust. They had come face to face with the anti-semitism, racial hatred and violence of the Nazis. It didn’t need to be overtly depicted on the stage. They would have palpably understood the terrible consequences that would follow when Elsa sings to the Captain that resisting the Germans is useless: There’s no way to stop it, No you can’t stop it even if you try… You’re a fool if you worry Over anything but little Number One!

The original audiences for The Sound of Music would have enjoyed the many happy moments of the musical even while simultaneously seeing images of destruction in their memories. Our production attempts to make that experience visually manifest on stage for a contemporary audience. We have created a design in which two elements can coexist in the same theatrical space: an intimate story of personal discovery played out against the very real destruction that would soon be wrought by the Nazis.

In The Sound of Music, religious faith helps the characters navigate through moments of crisis. Hammerstein’s lyrics sing with a love of music and nature, both of which he links to spirituality and healing. The first lyrics he wrote for The Sound of Music express Maria’s faith with simplicity and grace: I go to the hills When my heart is lonely, I know I will hear What I’ve heard before. My heart will be blessed With the sound of music And I’ll sing once more. Similarly, for Hammerstein the pursuit of faith and personal understanding are connected to the innate moral responsibility to stand up for social justice. In the first act, the Mother Abbess sings “Climb Every Mountain” to Maria to inspire her to accept her romantic desire for the Captain and her maternal love for his children. At the play’s conclusion, the song returns, but now its meaning has expanded to become a call to action for each person to stand up for righteousness in the broader world. These ideas about the deep rewards of family, the power of faith, and the solemn obligation of each individual to make the world more just for all had occupied Hammerstein for most of his life. In his final months, surrounded by his family on his farm in Pennsylvania, he wrote the lyrics to “Edelweiss.” This is the culmination of his final song: …bless my homeland forever.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND for The Sound of Music Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is set in and around Salzburg, Austria just before the Anschluss (union) of March 12, 1938, during which Adolf Hitler’s Germany annexed Austria into the Reich (empire). As an Austrian patriot and a devout Catholic, Captain Georg von Trapp strongly opposed Anschluss as it deconstructed his beloved country, absorbing it into Germany. 1938 was a critical year to those living in Germany and Austria. In March, German troops entered Austria to an enthusiastic welcome. As Ruth Maier, a Jewish schoolgirl who observed these events, remarked “all Austrians were celebrating and jumping about in excitement. [Nazi] flags were hoisted, people hugged and kissed each other in sheer joy.” Hitler and the Nazi Party advanced a racist ideal, promoting an Aryan master race. Hitler sought to conquer Europe and beyond, establishing a new empire freed of all racial enemies. An April 1938 vote passed by 99% of the Austrian population approved the annexation and Austria ceased to exist. Jews and Roma could not vote and, while the vote was certainly not fair, it was overwhelming. Those opposing Nazi rule risked imprisonment and death. Anti-Jewish laws were quickly imposed in Austria. Violence was immediate. Jewish leaders and religious Jews were openly harassed. The 200,000 Austrian Jews had seen the evolution of the Nazi regime in neighboring Germany and were under no illusions. They had to go somewhere, anywhere. Adolf Eichmann, sometimes called the “architect” of the final solution to the Jewish question, facilitated Jewish emigration, and confiscated Jewish homes and businesses. Austria became a training ground for how to deal with the Jews. In July, thirty-two countries met at the Evian Conference to consider the refugee crisis. Most were unwilling to accept Jewish immigrants. Still, by December 1939, almost three out of four Austrian Jews had fled the country. In November, the Nazis centrally coordinated public attacks on the Jews in Germany and Austria. These attacks began on the night of November 9, 1938 and were known as Kristallnacht (Crystal Night or Night of Broken Glass). In Austria, most of Vienna’s synagogues were looted and burned to the ground while fire departments and members of the public stood by and watched. Across the country, thousands of Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps in Germany, and Jewish businesses were looted and destroyed. Survivor Magie Furst, who settled in Dallas, notes she “remember[s] seeing flames from the window...the synagogue was in flames and the school was destroyed.” World reaction was intense. Priests and pastors — not just rabbis — and political leaders condemned the attacks. President Franklin Roosevelt responded angrily and recalled the ambassador from Germany for consultation. Still, there was little public support for increased immigration or an appetite for military action to stop Hitler. It was not until two days after Hitler invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 that Britain and France would declare war on Germany, beginning World War II. This, then, is the backdrop to the events of this beloved musical. - Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Ph.D. Barbara Rabin Chief Education Officer Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum

All Are Welcome DALLAS THEATER CENTER EDI STATEMENT ALL ARE WELCOME! At Dallas Theater Center, we want to be the best place to work and see theater, and to be a positive and transformational force in Dallas and beyond. We stand-up for equity, diversity, and inclusion across our company and community. As a leading national theater, we recognize that building an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment is central to our relevance and sustainability in the community we serve and love.

DALLAS THEATER CENTER LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge the land beneath our feet as the ancestral home of many Indigenous Peoples including the Caddo, Wichita, Tawakoni, and Kiikaapoi, as well as the tribes that may have lived here and roamed the area – including Comanche, Kiowa and Apache – and those indigenous people whose names we don’t know anymore. We honor, revere and respect those who were stewards of this land long before we made it our home. We also acknowledge the neighborhood we inhabit as one of the original Freedman’s towns of Dallas built by those who were enslaved by European colonization.

Please help us to maintain a safe and inclusive space while you are with us. DTC has a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment in any form including the use of racist, sexual or ethnic slurs - be it verbal, physical, or virtual. If you need assistance or witness an instance of harassment, please notify the House Manager immediately.

DIANE AND HAL BRIERLEY RESIDENT ACTING COMPANY In 2009, with the generous support of Diane and Hal Brierley, Artistic Director Kevin Moriarty reinstated Dallas Theater Center’s resident acting company. His intent was to develop and nurture professional actors within the North Texas community and enable them to make Dallas their artistic home. At the same time, he sought to enhance Dallas Theater Center’s artistic profile and create ongoing collaborative relationships. The eleven-member Diane and Hal Brierley Resident Acting Company has since become a signature component of Dallas Theater Center’s presence in the Dallas Arts District.
