The success of The Sound of Music has ensured its return to Cork Opera House, Colette Sheridan reports

RODGERS and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music, returns to Cork Opera House next week, following the success of last summer’s production at the venue.

The enduring appeal of the musical lies in its strong semi-factual storyline, and great songs that have stood the test of time, says soprano Cara O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan plays the elderly Abbess who advises postulant Maria to see the world to help her decide whether she is suited to committing to monastic life.
