EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures English actor Roger Dann (1911-2000) in April 1961, just a month before he was set to take on the iconic role of Captain Von Trapp in the historic production of "The Sound of Music" at the Palace Theatre in London. With a stern yet gentle expression, Dann exudes an air of authority and sophistication, making him the perfect choice to bring the beloved character to life on stage. The year was 1961, and the world was enchanted by the story of the Von Trapp family and their musical exploits. Dann, an accomplished actor with a long and varied career, was no stranger to the stage, having appeared in numerous productions throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. However, it was his portrayal of Captain Von Trapp that would cement his place in the annals of musical theatre history. The photograph, taken just weeks before the opening night of the production, captures Dann in a moment of quiet reflection, perhaps contemplating the challenges and joys that lay ahead as he prepared to step into the role of the stern yet loving father. With the Palace Theatre looming in the background, the image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of live theatre and the enduring power of classic stories to captivate audiences. Dann's portrayal of Captain Von Trapp was widely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, and the production of "The Sound of Music" went on to become a cultural phenomenon, running for over 2,000 performances and spawning numerous revivals and adaptations. Today, this photograph stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of live theatre and the indelible impact of a great actor on the stage.
