What is The Sound of Music?

Mother Abbess, a very wise woman, thinks Maria might be better suited for life outside the convent and decides to send her to Captain von Trapp’s villa to act as a governess for his seven children. Maria takes a different approach to the children. Instead of educating them, she introduces music to their lives, teaching them how to sing and play and laugh—and so, is rewarded with the children’s sympathy and love. Accompanied by seven children, Maria marries the man she loves in the Abbey where she had wanted to become a nun. When they return from their honeymoon, the Nazis have already occupied Austria. The Captain plans to escape from forced naval service and sees his opportunity: The whole family takes part in a chorus festival at the Salzburg Festival Hall.

The final scene sees the Trapp family climbing the Alps to safely reach Italy—.
