People of Note - Carmen Pretorius

--:--
Arguably the most loved musical of all time, The Sound Of Music, has returned to the Artscape Opera House after a hugely successful world tour. This is the recent Andrew Lloyd-Webber production for the London Palladium and is being presented by Pieter Toerien, David Ian and the Really Useful group with an all South African cast. In the iconic role of Maria is Carmen Pretorius who graduated from playing Liesl in the 2014 production and who has made the role very much her own.

In People of Note this week, Rodney Trudgeon spoke to Carmen Pretorius about the role of Maria and her long association with this glorious musical.

People of Note is broadcast on Sunday evening just after the 6pm news and is repeated on Thursday just after the 1pm news.
