Debbie Turner-Larson to visit

Before the curtain opens at three of Northern Light Opera Company’s " The Sound of Music" performances, actress Debbie Turner-Larson, who played Marta in the 1965 movie will give a 45-minute presentation sharing all her behind-the-scenes experiences when filming "The Sound of Music."

Audience members attending the July 27, 28, and 29 Sound of Music performances are asked to arrive at 6:45 to listen to Debbie and meet and greet her. Northern Light Opera Company is honored to have Turner-Larson participate in our summer presentation.

Debbie Turner Larson was seven years old when she was cast as adorable Marta von Trapp, the second youngest von Trapp daughter in the film "The Sound of Music."
"Little did we know that over four decades this movie would still be playing for audiences of new generations and that we would still share the chemistry and friendship that brought us together so many years ago. I consider my film sisters and brothers my ‘other family’" said Turner-Larson.
Debbie grew up in Arcadia, Los Angeles, California. She now makes her home in Chanhassen, Minnesota. She started her own floral design company in 1989, calling it Debbie Turner Originals, and was very pleased to be selected as 'Preferred Florist' for the Republican National Convention in 2008.
 
At the July performances, Debbie will be signing her book, "The Sound Of Music Family Scrapbook." Early orders may be placed by going to: http://somfs.debbieturneroriginals.com.

In the "Instructions" put "NORTHERN LIGHTS OPERA" and Debbie will know that this is for the NLOC event.

NLOC will also be raffling a 10-piece set of Madame Alexander "Sound of Music" dolls. Tickets may be purchased form board members and at the performances.

This activity is funded, in part, by a Region 2 Arts Council grant through an appropriation by the MN State Legislature and the Arts &Cultural Heritage Fund passed by Mn voters on Nov. 4, 2008.
