Musical
The Sound of Music
The Sound of Music is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It is based on the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Set in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, the musical tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German navy, but he opposes the Nazis. He and Maria decide on a plan to flee Austria with the children.
The musical has been in the works for almost a year, with the aim of showcasing students' talents and cultivating students' artistic literacy, as well as enhancing the self-confidence of the performing students, nurturing their all-round development and enriching learning experience.

As an integral part of our English curriculum, Hong Kong True Light College has been actively teaching English Literature. We believe that authentic language proficiency can be acquired through reading. Therefore, we have to our junior form students through interactive activities over the years. For example, our Form two English curriculum comprises of reading Shakespeare stories and dramatizing them in the students’ annual English Day Camp. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of our College, we take pleasure in presenting the drama performance - Shakespeare's Enchanting Escapades, which is our own twist on three of Shakespeare's much loved stories, namely, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet.
