Sound of Music Audition Information
Casting Principal Characters:
Maria Rainer (soprano/mezzo, some dance, 20-35) A postulant at Nonnberg Abbey, young, free spirited, warm
and kind. She is from the Austrian countryside, an orphan, who has used her resourcefulness, intelligence and
inner confidence to overcome the difficulties of her early life. There is a part of her that wants sheltering from
the uncertainties of the outside world as well, and that, coupled with her absolute faith in God’s will, is what
has led her to seek life as a nun. The actor must have versatility, a powerful voice, great sense of natural
humour, ability to move well.
Captain Georg von Trapp (baritone, moves well, early 40s - early 50s) A retired Austrian naval captain.
Educated, polished, and military in the way he runs his life, his home and his children’s lives. The father of
seven, ranging in age from six to sixteen, he is a widower. When we meet him he is still in mourning over the
death of his wife; his unconscious defence has been to push his children away and remove himself from the
home that reminds him too much of what he has lost, resulting in a cool, detached exterior; underneath, he is
warm, understanding, and as much in need of love himself as are his children.
Max Detweiller (baritone, 40s/50s) Charming, sophisticated, enjoys the good life, which he can’t afford, so he
avails himself of the Captain’s largesse at every opportunity. He is practical and sees the coming of Nazism as
unavoidable, so one must “accommodate”, which brings him into conflict with the Captain. Ultimately, he
proves a true and loyal friend to the family.
Elsa Schrader (mezzo, moves well, 30s/40s) A baroness of taste and elegance; she is sophisticated and worldly.
Like Max, she will find a way to accommodate the coming Anschluss. She tolerates the children, but would
send them off to boarding school, so she and the Captain could spend most of their time in Vienna. She loves
the Captain in a measured way; he represents good social standing and a continuation of the comfortable,
luxurious lifestyle she enjoys.
Mother Abbess (powerful soprano, wide vocal range, 40+, strong actress) Motherly, understanding,
authoritative, she is Maria’s guiding light. Her years have brought her wisdom, patience and inner confidence.
Featured Characters:
Sister Berthe (alto, moves well, 20-60) Mistress of Novices is the more critical, finding all the faults in Maria’s
conduct, and may be a little pompous.
Sister Margaretta (mezzo, moves well, 20-60) Mistress of Postulants has a good sense of humour, and so
appreciates what is humorous in Maria’s conduct.
Sister Sophia (soprano, moves well, 20-60) Sister Sophia is more inclined to notice the positive aspects of
Maria’s conduct. All are frustrated with her inability to settle into the lifestyle of the Abbey.

Sound of Music Audition Information
Rolf Gruber (tenor, a strong dancer or very good mover, 18-20) Rolf is a telegraph delivery boy on bicycle, and
later drawn into the Nazi youth movement. He and Liesl have fallen in love, and they look for every
opportunity to see one another.
Franz (non-singing, 30+, strong actor) The von Trapp butler, formerly the Captain’s orderly on shipboard;
formal, but not without spirit; his loyalties move very swiftly to the Fascist cause.
Frau Schmidt (non-singing, 30+, strong actor) The housekeeper, rather stoic, but with a guarded sense of
humour; she knows how to run the household as the Captain wishes it.
Herr Zeller (non-singing, 40+, strong actor) Bureaucratic neighbour who becomes an early Nazi official. He is
critical of the Captain’s loyalties to the old Austria and ultimately, as an official of the Third Reich, leads the
move to take the Captain into Nazi naval service; hard-nosed, inflexible.
Admiral Von Schreiber (non-singing, 40+, strong actor) Admiral of the Navy of the Third Reich, he arrives to
escort the Captain to his forced commission. He is more flexible and accommodating than Zeller.
Ensemble:
Men and Women Ensemble members (18 - 60+ years) To play nuns, monks, priests, Nazis novices, postulants,
guests at the Captain’s party, Salzburg citizens, and Contestants in the Festival Concert.

Maria 1 and Captain von Trapp 1
CAPTAIN: I’m Captain von Trapp. You are Fraulein…
MARIA: Maria - Maria Rainer.
CAPTAIN: Now, Fraulein, as to your duties here - would you mind stepping over there? Before the children
meet you, you will put on another dress.
MARIA: I haven’t any other dress. When we enter the abbey our worldly clothes are given to the poor.
CAPTAIN: What about this one?
MARIA: The poor didn’t want this one.
CAPTAIN: This is what you would call a worldly dress? MARIA: It belonged to our last postulant. I would have
made myself a dress but I wasn’t given time. I can make my own clothes.
CAPTAIN: Good. I’ll see that you’re given some material - today if possible. Now, you will be in charge of my
children. There are seven of them. You will find out how far they have progressed in their studies and carry on
from there. Each morning will be spent in the classroom. Each afternoon, they march. You will see that at all
times they conduct themselves with decorum and orderliness. The first rule in this house is discipline.
MARIA: Yes, sir.
CAPTAIN: Now, Fraulein, listen and learn these whistle signals.
MARIA: I won’t have to whistle for the children, Reverend Captain…. What I mean is, I’ll be with them all the
time.
CAPTAIN: Not on all occasions. This is a large house and a large estate. They have been taught to come only
when they hear their signal. Now when I want you, this is what you’ll hear…
MARIA: You won’t have to trouble, sir, because I couldn’t answer to a whistle.
CAPTAIN: That’s nonsense. Everyone in the house answers to a whistle.

Maria 2 and Mother Abbess
MOTHER A: This must have been a trying experience for you.
MARIA: It was, Reverend Mother.
MOTHER A: Has it taught you anything?
MARIA: I’ve learned I never want to leave these walls again.
MOTHER A: Why did they send you back to us?
MARIA: They didn’t send me back. I left. I left without telling them I was going - without saying goodbye.
MOTHER A: Maria, what happened? Why did you do this?
MARIA: I was frightened.
MOTHER A: Frightened?
MARIA: I was confused. I felt - I never felt that way before. I couldn’t stay - and I knew that here I would be
away from it - that here I would be safe.
MOTHER A: Maria, our abbey is not to be used as an escape. What is it you cannot face?
MARIA: I can’t face him again.
MOTHER A: Maria, are you in love with Captain von Trapp?
MARIA: I don’t know. I don’t know.
MOTHER A: Tell me about it, my child.
MARIA: Brigitta said that I was - and that her father was in love with me - and there he was - and we were
looking at each other - and I could hardly breathe. Then I knew I couldn’t stay.
MOTHER A: But you do like him, Maria?
MARIA: Oh, yes!
MOTHER A: Did you let him see how you felt?
MARIA: If I did I didn’t know that I did. That’s what’s been torturing me. I was there on God’s errand. To have
asked for the Captain’s love would have been wrong. I don’t know, Mother. I do know this - I am ready at this
very moment to take the vows of poverty, obedience and - chastity.

Sound of Music Audition Information
MOTHER A: Maria, the love of a man and a woman is holy too. The first time we talked together - you told me
that you remembered your father and mother before they died. Do you remember - were they happy?
MARIA: Oh yes, Mother, they were very happy.
MOTHER A: Maria, you were born of their happiness, of their love. What you must find out is - how does God
want you to spend that love.
MARIA: I’ve pledged my life to God’s service. I’ve pledged my life to God.
MOTHER A: My daughter, if you love this man, it doesn’t mean that you love God less. You must find out. You
must go back.
MARIA: Oh, no, Mother, please, don’t ask me to do that! Please! Let me stay here.
MOTHER A: These walls were not made to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to find the life
you were born to live.
MARIA: How do I find it?
MOTHER A: Look for it.

Maria 3 and Captain von Trapp 2
MARIA: I’m sorry if I said something I shouldn’t have said.
CAPTAIN: You did say the wrong thing - but you said it at the right time.
MARIA: The children told me that you were going to marry Frau Schraeder.
CAPTAIN: We found we just couldn’t go the same way. That door is shut.
MARIA: Sister Margaretta always says, “When God shuts a door -…”
CAPTAIN: I know - “He opens a window.” Maria, why did you run away to the abbey? What made you come
back?
MARIA: The Mother Abbess - she said that you have to look for your life.
CAPTAIN: Often when you find it, you don’t recognise it.
MARIA: No.
CAPTAIN: Not at first. Then one day - one night - all of a sudden, it stands before you.
MARIA: Yes.
CAPTAIN: I look at you now, and I realise, this is not something that has just happened. It is something I’ve
known - deep inside me - for many weeks. You knew it, too. What was it that told you?
MARIA: Brigitta. She said - when we were dancing - that night…
CAPTAIN: She was quite right. That was not just an ordinary dance, was it?
MARIA: I hadn’t danced since I was a very little girl. It’s quite different after you’ve grown up, isn’t it?
CAPTAIN: When you were a very little girl, did a very little boy ever kiss you?
MARIA: Uh-huh.
CAPTAIN: That’s quite different too.
MARIA: Is it?
CAPTAIN: Your whole life will be different now, Maria. I’ll take you anywhere you want to go - give you
anything you wish.
MARIA: But I don’t want to go anywhere. All I could wish for is right here.

Franz and Frau Schmidt
FRANZ: Yes, Sir?
CAPTAIN: I was calling the housekeeper and she didn’t answer. Do you know why?
FRANZ: Sometimes she doesn’t hear, sir.
FRAU SCHMIDT: I’m sorry, sir, I was answering the telephone. Good day, sir. We’re happy to have you home
again.
CAPTAIN: Why did the last governess leave?
FRAU SCHMIDT: Who knows? She just said, “I’ve had enough of this,” and walked out.
CAPTAIN: Why? Was Louisa playing tricks again? Putting toads in her bed?
FRAU SCHMIDT: She didn’t complain of that, sir.
CAPTAIN: Well, there’s another one coming today. And this one can’t walk out.
FRAU SCHMIDT: Oh?
CAPTAIN: She’s coming from Nonnberg Abbey with orders to stay until September.
FRAU SCHMIDT: I hope you’ll be at home for a time, sir.
CAPTAIN: Just until tomorrow. The telephone call – was it for me?
FRAU SCHMIDT: No, sir, it was for Franz. Before you arrived there was a call from Vienna - a Frau Schraeder. I
have the number in the pantry.
CAPTAIN: I know the number. Oh, I shall be back in about a month with some guests.
FRAU SCHMIDT: Yes, sir. Do you know how many, sir?
CAPTAIN: Just two. Herr Detweiler –
FRANZ: Ah, Herr Detweiler.
CAPTAIN: And Frau Schraeder. (exits)
FRANZ: Who wanted me on the telephone?
FRAU SCHMIDT: It was the post office. They’ve got a telegram for you It will be delivered at seven o’clock.
FRANZ: With that scatterbrained boy delivering telegrams –

FRANZ: Well, that’s one thing people are saying – if the Germans did take over Austria, we’d have efficiency.
FRAU SCHMIDT: Don’t let the Captain hear you say that. (Captain whistles off stage) He didn’t whistle for us
when his wife was alive.
FRANZ: He’s being the captain of a ship again. (Captain whistles again)
FRAU SCHMIDT: I can’t bear being whistled for – it’s humiliating.
FRANZ: In the Imperial Navy, the bosun always whistled for us. (Doorbell rings)
FRAU SCHMIDT: But I wasn’t in the Imperial Navy.
FRANZ: Too bad. You could have made a fortune.

Elsa and Max
MAX: I’m sorry I took so long.
CAPTAIN: Any luck?
MAX: How would you like this for the Kaltzberg Festival – the finest choral group in Austria, the greatest mixed
quartet in all Europe, and the best soprano in the world?
ELSA: Max, that’s something I’d love to hear!
MAX: So would I. All I’ve got up to now is a basso who isn’t even profundo.
(Franz exits into the house)
ELSA: Max, you always come up with a good festival concert.
MAX: And why? Because my motto is: “Never start out looking for the people you wind up getting.” That’s
why I’ve been telephoning Paris, Rome, Stockholm, London –
ELSA: On Georg’s telephone?
MAX: How else could I afford it? Why am I up here?
CAPTAIN: I hoped it was because you like me.
MAX: Of course I like you. Why shouldn’t I like you? You live like a king. You have an excellent wine cellar-
ELSA: Max!
MAX: I like rich people. I like the way they live. I like the way I live when I’m with them. (We hear Abbey bells)
Speaking as a government official, I – Georg, is there a cathedral around here?
CAPTAIN: That’s our abbey – Nonnberg Abbey.
MAX: Do they have a choir?
CAPTAIN: A beautiful one.
MAX: Good! In the next few days I have to visit all these towns around here and listen to saengerbunds, choirs,
quartets –
CAPTAIN: You’ll be here for meals, won’t you?
MAX: Oh, yes! It was in a town just about that size – Watzmann – where I discovered the St. Ignatius Boys
Choir. In 1930 they won the festival, became very famous, toured all over the world.

ELSA: Oh, yes – whatever became of them?
MAX: By the time their voices changed they were rich enough to live in America. (Indicating.) Who lives in that
dilapidated castle own there? Rumpelstiltskin?
CAPTAIN: Baron Elberfeld/ The oldest family in the valley.
ELSA: I’d like to meet him. I’d like to meet all your friends. Georg, why don’t you give a dinner for me while I’m
here? Nothing very much – just something lavish.
CAPTAIN: I wouldn’t know whom to invite. Today it’s difficult to tell who’s a friend and who’s an enemy.
ELSA: This isn’t a good time to make enemies. Let’s make some friends.
CAPTAIN: I can’t understand what’s happened to the children.
ELSA: You’re not worried about them, are you?
CAPTAIN: They should have been here to welcome you.
ELSA: It couldn’t have been an intentional slight because they haven’t met me yet.
CAPTAIN: Forgive me, I’ll try to find them. (Exits)
MAX: Elsa, have you made up Georg’s mind yet? Is he going to marry you?
ELSA: Oh, yes! He hasn’t admitted it yet. There seems to be something standing in his way.
MAX: You don’ know what it is?
ELSA: no.
MAX: I do.
Elsa: What?
MAX: It’s very simple. It’s money.
ELSA: Money?
MAZ: Yes. He’s rich and you’re rich.

Mother Abbess, Sister Berthe, Sister Margaretta, Sister Sophia
MOTHER ABBESS: I think we should be pleased with our efforts. Out of twenty-eight postulants, sixteen or
seventeen are ready to enter the novitiate. Let’s consider the doubtful ones again. There’s Irmagard…
SISTER BERTHE: Reverend Mother, there’s no doubt about Irmagard – the religious life is no place for the
pious.
MOTHER ABBESS: You mean the pretentiously pious, Sister Berthe. There’s Christina – and there’s Maria.
SISTER BERTHE: Well, after last night I don’t think there can be any doubt in the Reverend Mother’s mind
about Maria.
MOTHER ABBESS: I gave her permission to leave the abbey for the day.
SISTER MARGARETTA: I told you, Sister Berthe- (A knock on the door)
MOTHER ABBESS: Ave! (Sister Sophia enters)
SISTER SOPHIA: Reverend Mother, I’ve brought Maria. She’s waiting.
MOTHER ABBESS: Sister Sophia, the Mistress of the Postulants and the Mistress of the Novices do not see eye
to eye about Maria. How do you feel about her?
SISTER SOPHIA: I love her very dearly. But she always seems to be in trouble, doesn’t she?
SISTER BERTHE: Exactly what I say!

ROLF: Can I come again tomorrow night?

ROLF: I could come here by mistake - with a telegram for Colonel Schneider. He’s here from Berlin. He’s
staying with the Gauleiter but I - - no one’s supposed to know he’s here. Don’t you tell your father.
LIESL: Why not?
ROLF: Well, your father’s pretty Austrian.
LIESL: We’re all Austrian.
ROLF: Some people think we ought to be German. They’re pretty mad at those who don’t think so. They’re
getting ready to… well, let’s hope your father doesn’t get into any trouble.

Frau Schraeder didn’t have a headache. She just wanted to get out of the party. She was faking.
MARIA: Brigitta, you shouldn’t say things you don’t know are true.
BRIGITTA: But I do know. I heard her say to Father she’d been dodging these people.
MARIA: That doesn’t mean that she didn’t have a headache. It’s very important that you children like Frau
Schraeder.
BRIGITTA: I like her all right. Why is it important?
MARIA: Well - I think she’s going to be your new mother.
BRIGITTA: Oh, Fraulein, Father’s never going to marry her. Why, he couldn’t.
MARIA: Why couldn’t he?
BRIGITTA: Because he’s in love with you.
MARIA: Now Brigitta, that’s just the kind of thing—
BRIGITTA: You must know that—
MARIA: Brigitta—no!
BRIGITTA: Remember the other night when we were all sitting on the floor singing the Edelweiss song he
taught us? After we finished, you laughed at him for forgetting the words. He didn’t forget the words. He just
stopped singing to look at you. And when he speaks to you, the way his voice sounds—
MARIA: No, Brigitta, no.
BRIGITTA: And the way you looked at him just now when you were dancing. You’re in love with him.
