The Sound of Music

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember

My favorite things

And then I don’t feel so bad

              -My Favorite Things-

All of us have seen the movie. All of us adored the Von Trapp family. And all of us can sing Do Re Mi.

The Sound of Music is one of my all time favorite movies. From start to end, I could sing all the songs. My mom used to sing Edelweiss during those times I slept beside her. It’s her favorite movie, too.

Resorts World is offering a perfect treat for the family this holiday season. Go and watch The Sound of Music at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Originally, the show was scheduled until 11 December 2011, but it has been extended until 12 February 2012.

I wish I have pictures to share with you, however taking of pictures were not allowed at the venue. Cameras and other gadgets will be confiscated from violators.

I watched the 8pm show, with the following cast:

                        Captain Von Trapp                              Audie Gemora

                        Maria Rainer                                        Joanna Ampil

            Liesl Von Trapp                                   Tanya Manalang          

            Friedrich Von Trapp                            Luis Nieto

            Louisa Von Trapp                                Danielle Sanghio

            Kurt Von Trapp                                   Justin Sian

            Brigitta Von Trapp                              Atasha Muhlach

            Marta Von Trapp                                Sofia Yabyabin

            Gretl Von Trapp                                  Alexa Villaroel

Atasha, daughter of Charlene and Aga Muhlach

  

It was lovely! It reminded me of my childhood days. Highly recommended.

I really deserve a Best Actress award =). I’ve seen the movie so many times, but still I cried during the show. 2 specific scenes that made me cry:

1) When the Captain heard the children singing after a long time, since the death of his wife.

2) The Captain singing “Edelweiss” with his family during the concert.

Mark this 2 scenes, I’m sure you will also be moved.

I like Edelweiss, it is absolutely a beautiful song. A very short song, but so meaningful. Edelweiss is a flower. The song symbolizes the perseverance of the flower which grows in places with severe conditions where other flowers cannot grow but the Edelweiss can.

 I happen to value patriotism and nationalism. I hope parents will continue to teach their children love for the country. Many people fought for our country’s independence and freedom. I pray that every generation will continue the same fight. Just like Captain Von Trapp.

 Have a good time. Watch The Sound of Music with your family or friends.
