NMACC Brings The World Of Theatre To India With Premiere Of 'The Sound of Music'

The National Musical Arts Cultural Centre (NMACC) has announced its latest production, a first-of-its-kind initiative to bring the iconic Broadway musical 'The Sound of Music' to India. The classic musical, which has been entertaining audiences worldwide since its premiere in 1959, will make its Indian debut through a series of shows organized by NMACC.

The Sound of Music, which tells the story of the von Trapp family and their escape from Austria during World War II, has captured the hearts of audiences around the world with its enchanting score and memorable songs. NMACC's production of the musical promises to be a treat for Indian audiences, who will get to witness the classic tale of love, family and courage brought to life on stage.

The Indian adaptation of The Sound of Music will feature a mix of Indian and international talent. The production is being directed by veteran theatre director Abhishek Mazumdar and will feature an Indian cast alongside international performers. The music for the show will be adapted by award-winning composer and conductor Kevin Farrell.

The production of The Sound of Music is a significant step towards the growth of theatre in India. NMACC, which was founded with the objective of promoting and preserving the country's rich cultural heritage, has been instrumental in bringing international theatre productions to Indian audiences. The organization has previously produced shows such as 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Les Miserables' in India, which have received critical acclaim.

Commenting on the initiative, NMACC's founder and chairman, Nita M Ambani said, “We are delighted to present ‘The Sound of Music’ as the first ever international Broadway musical in India, at the Cultural Centre! We showcased the best of India in ‘The Great Indian Musical’, and now we are thrilled to bring one of the most loved international musicals of all time to India."

The production of The Sound of Music is set to tour major Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata, among others. The show is expected to run for several months, giving audiences across the country ample opportunities to catch the musical.

In conclusion, NMACC's initiative to bring The Sound of Music to India for the first time is a significant milestone in the growth of theatre in the country. The production promises to be a memorable experience for audiences and a testament to the power of performing arts in bringing people together. The success of this initiative is likely to inspire more such collaborations between Indian and international theatre companies, opening up new avenues for cultural exchange and creativity.
