Recently Updated

"The Sound of Music" is a beloved musical that tells the story of Maria, a young nun-in-training who is sent to be a governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain, Georg von Trapp, in Austria just before the start of World War II. Despite the initial resistance of the stern and distant Captain von Trapp, Maria's warmth and love for music quickly endear her to the children and they begin to thrive under her care. Meanwhile, Maria and the Captain gradually develop feelings for each other, but their budding romance is threatened by the looming war and the Captain's engagement to a wealthy baroness.

As the von Trapp family prepares for a music competition, they must also decide whether to flee Austria in order to escape the Nazi regime. In the end, the family performs together and successfully escapes to Switzerland, aided by the Captain's love for his family and their shared love for music. Along the way, they sing many memorable songs, including "Do-Re-Mi," "My Favorite Things," and "Edelweiss," which have become iconic classics in the musical theater canon.
