For the 20th anniversary, the Staufer Festival brings one of the greatest musical classics of all time to the stage: The Sound of Music.
The world-famous work by Rodgers & Hammerstein has delighted millions for decades – on Broadway stages, in international theaters, and in the legendary Hollywood film starring Julie Andrews, which won 5 Oscars and is considered one of the most beloved films in the world.

Now in Göppingen, a new, specially developed festival production is being created by our artistic director Alexander Warmbrunn, which combines the timeless music, the emotional story, and the artistic signature of the Staufer Festival.

A musical full of heart, hope, and musical brilliance
At the center is the novice Maria, whose warmth, curiosity, and love for music forever change the lives of the seven children of the von Trapp family – and that of their strict father, Captain von Trapp.
Against the backdrop of the political upheavals of the 1930s, the musical tells a story of courage, home, loss, and the power of togetherness.

The immortal melodies like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Edelweiss,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” or “My Favorite Things / Meine Lieblingsdinge” have long reached cult status and are among the most sung musical hits worldwide. In Göppingen, they will resound in an emotional German-language interpretation.

A global hit – reimagined for Göppingen
The Staufer Festival creates a modern, visually striking, and touching new version that combines the charm of the original with the special atmosphere of the festival.
The production follows the international success story of the piece – but is interpreted with the regional identity, authenticity, and artistic signature for which the Staufer Festival has stood for two decades.

This production is not a copy of known versions, but a unique festival production: musically opulent, scenically modern, and newly developed in all crafts.

Over 250 participants are involved in this anniversary production: the large festival choir, the children’s choir, the dance ensemble, professionals from music and theater, as well as many volunteers from the region.
