The Sound of Music 60th Anniversary

Experience the breathtaking theatrical presentation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's™ iconic musical film The Sound of Music. Meticulously restored and remastered in 4K for its 60th anniversary, the beloved classic is more brilliant than ever with pristine picture and sound. 

In this true-life story, Julie Andrews lights up the screen as Maria, a spirited young woman who leaves the convent and becomes a governess to the seven unruly children of Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Her warmth, charm and songs soon win the hearts of the children and their father. But when the threat of war rises, Maria is forced to attempt a daring escape with her new family.

One of the most successful movie musicals of all time, The Sound of Music features unforgettable treasures like “Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and “Do-Re-Mi.”

Staff Pick

Our team is sharing the films they love so you can enjoy them on the big screen.

“The love of The Sound of Music has been passed down to the women of my family like a precious heirloom since my Great Nan saw it at the cinema 12 times when it first opened in 1965. 6 decades later, The Sound of Music is a timeless classic and nothing will ever bring a smile to my face quicker than the overture building as Julie Andrews is about to spin on that hillside. My first time seeing this film on the big screen was right here at Warwick Arts Centre nearly 20 years ago dressed as a ‘rebellious nun’, so I’m honoured to present this as my staff pick in what feels like a full circle moment. Happy Anniversary to one of my favourite things, here is to 60 going on forever!”
