Mayes reprises Captain von Trapp after singing “My Favorite Things” at Houston Grand Opera in 2021. The hills are alive with this classic story of Maria, a young woman who leaves the nunnery for a job as a governess for naval captain Georg von Trapp. In a home of routine and discipline, the seven von Trapp children take to the light and music Maria imbues in the family. Against the backdrop of the Swiss Alps among a time of increasing unrest, this story of love, music and morality is sure to be one of your favorite things.
Performances run from July 11 to August 25. More information available at glimmerglass.org.
