The Sound of Music
MUSICAL
Splendid Voices of Today!
// PRESENTATION
The sound of Music 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 their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German navy, but he opposes the Nazis.
Music is the all-encompassing element in “The Sound of Music”. It is a powerful and almost magical entity that doesn't just unite the Trapp family; it also underlines how the strength of togetherness, love, and sense of community could prevail over the horrors of war.
“The Sound of Music” is, indeed, based on a true story. The actual von Trapp were also a big family that lived in Salzburg, Austria during World War II. Their patriarch, Georg von Trapp, did marry a governess named Maria. The family’s singing talents did get recognition, and it allowed them to eventually leave Nazi-occupied Austria. They later settled in the United States in the late 1930s.
