1938, Salzburg, Austria; Maria is a young postulant at Nonnberg Abbey, but her request to become a member of the community of nuns is causing some concern, because she is seen as too flighty for the abbey. The Mother Abbess believes she would be better suited to life outside the abbey and sends her to take up the position of governess to the children of retired naval office Georg von Trapp. The Captain has been raising his children in the style of the military but Maria finds that they respond better to love, kindness and gentle words.
A tuneful, heartwarming story, it is based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Maria brings a new love of life and music into the home.
Enjoy the memorable tunes such as Do Re Mi, The Sound of Music, Lonely Goatherd, Edelweiss and more!
