  • THE SOUND of MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles
    experienceL.A. THE SOUND OF MUSIC Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles THE SOUND OF MUSIC The Sound of Music is a stage and film musical based on The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, the memoir of Maria von Trapp. The story takes place in Austria at the brink of World War II. Maria, a plucky nun turned governess, is charged with caring for the seven children of a military captain. Maria’s delightful teaching of music to the children leads to their becoming a celebrated touring act, the innocence of which is shattered as the realities of Nazi rule become inescapable. Notably, many details of the von Trapp family story were changed to increase the dramatic impact of the musical version. Inspired by a pair of German films about the von Trapps from the mid-1950s, the stage version of The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway in 1959. The production won multiple Tony Awards, and the show has been revived many times since, including a renowned 1998 Broadway revival. The 1965 film version starring Julie Andrews won five Academy Awards and is still beloved today by viewers around the world. Written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the songs of The Sound of Music—including “My Favorite Things,” “Do, Re, Mi,” “Edelweiss,” and the title song—have been celebrated for more than half a century. RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Composer Richard Rodgers and librettist Oscar Hammerstein were one of the most prolific, successful songwriting teams in the history of musical theatre. The pair’s first collaboration, Oklahoma! (1943), marked the start of a new theatrical genre: the musical play, which combined elements of musical comedy, operetta, and drama.

    MORPHOSIS 5960 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood 2014 Emerson College opened this Morphosis-designed, glass-and- aluminum satellite campus in Hollywood in 2014. While Emerson has been Boston-based since the nineteenth century and has long focused on the performing arts, the Los Angeles campus aims to boost graduates’ job prospects by allowing them to spend semesters in the company of the area’s entertainment industry giants. The campus, which features a first-rate view of the Hollywood sign, firmly indicates Emerson’s prominent role as an entertainment industry educator. A sculptural, free-form base connects the two rectangular ten-story towers that make up this 107,400-square-foot building on LOS ANGELES Sunset Boulevard. An overhead bridge anchors two towers, which serve as student residences. The base features lecture halls, black box theaters, and other educational and performance spaces. In order to maximize the creative possibilities of the building, Morphosis’s design includes rigging for film-quality lighting and sound through most of the interior and exterior spaces, so that students may spontaneously transform them into sets or a stage. Thanks to Morphosis’s smart balance of window shading for heat reduction and use of the abundant natural light, the Emerson campus is anticipated to receive a LEED Gold rating. In addition, solar panels cover the rooftop of the west tower, providing enough energy to heat the building’s hot water.
