Overview
When Maria, a young postulant of Nonberg Abbey in Salzberg, Austria, proves too high-spirited for the life of a nun in 1938, she is sent by the Mother Superior to be governess for the seven children of the widowed Captain von Trapp, a retired hero of the Imperial Austrian Navy. Maria’s fondness for the stifled von Trapp children, and her love of music and fun, gradually warms the cold household. Though the Captain has plans to marry the sophisticated Baroness Schraeder, Maria captures more and more of his attention. Austria’s annexation by the Nazis complicates this love story and that of the eldest child, Liesl, who is secretly involved with a young Austrian who has come under the thrall of the Hitler Youth. Ultimately, the threat to the family on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in musical theatre. The 1965 motion picture, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, remains the most popular movie musical of all time.
