When Tiffany Solano talks about playing Maria in The Sound of Music at the Dallas Theater Center, she makes something clear.
As a teenager, she played the eldest Von Trapp child, Liesl, and was simply excited to be performing in one of the most well-known musicals of the twentieth century. Performing in the Dallas Theater Center’s production requires the cast to reconsider the history surrounding the story and the real lives shaped by that history.The cast visited the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum to learn more about what was happening in Austria in the 1930s.
As rehearsals began, Russia invaded Ukraine, making the historical setting of the musical and the Von Trapp family’s war refugee story more resonant. “It’s incredible,” Solano said. “This one is spectacular and also a little scary and it really helps us tell the story in a way that’s new and unique and the minute the audience walks into the house and sees the set, they are going to know we’re not doing the traditionalThe cast is diverse. As a little Latina girl, Solano did not imagine playing this role.
The beginning of the show establishes the grief of the Von Trapp household following the death of the children’s mother. “
