It was a night full of singing, laughing, and reminiscing as Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta, Gretl, Maria, Captain von Trapp, and all the rest of the cast of the musical “The Sound of Music” made its third and final performance of the summer on the Redlands Bowl stage on Saturday night, August 3. “The Sound of Music” is one of several performances that have been delivered at the Redlands Bowl this summer, one of the chapters in Redlands’ Summer Music Festival series that has been happening since the third week of June and will end in the third week of August, according to executive director of the Redlands Community Music Association Beverly Noerr. It was produced and directed by Wayne Scott. Noerr added that “Redlands Bowl is in its 90th season, and is the oldest, continuously running music festival in the United States where no admission is charged,” not hard to believe as the Bowl was filled with theatergoers. As leading actress, Hannah Jeanette Ayotte opened the show with the first note of one of the musical’s most famous songs, “The Sound of Music,” as the novice Maria Rainer, the audience erupted into applause. When the von Trapp children made their first appearance of the show marching down the grand steps into the foyer where their father, Captain Georg von Trapp, played by Jonathan Briggs—Ayotte’s real life fiancé—and Maria were awaiting, a sense of memories grew on the audience. Throughout the show, the cast performed the musical’s well-known songs “Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things,” “So Long, Farewell,” and many more. Don Clem, who has been attending Redlands Bowl performances since graduating high school, said, “I think it’s one of the most beautiful shows we’ve ever had here.” While “The Sound of Music” was performed this weekend, upcoming Bowl performances will continue with “The State Street Ballet of Santa Barbara: Beauty and the Beast,” which will be performed Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10. The Redlands Bowl is located at 25 Grant St., Redlands, CA 92373.
