The tutor at Colonel Trapp's family also hopes to help her find the meaning of life. Maria arrived at von Trapp's house and found that he was a widower with seven children. His long-term naval life and the grief of his deceased wife made him treat his children as strictly as disciplining soldiers, and the children did not receive the care of their father.

The play is directed by Bert. Produced by Fink, Rodgers & Hammerstein, the show has been a hit with audiences for 45 years.

Introduction: Today, this play has become a well-known musical. In addition to the composer and lyricist's unique music score and the flesh-and-blood script, the biggest reason is that I'm afraid it's still the musical version of this show that's so famous that it couldn't be more famous. The first person who thought of putting such a story on the stage was the play's director Vincent J. Donehue. After watching a movie based on this, he approached the producers Leland Hayward and Richard Halliday and suggested that the play should be put on stage. The latter's wife, Broadway star Mary Martin, stars as the heroine. They first hired screenwriters and also wanted the golden pair of Broadway duo Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to write one or two songs for the play. The pair reasoned: Why not turn this show into a musical? The producer agreed to the suggestion, but insisted that the two write the song and asked them to finish the "Flower Drum Song" they were preparing before actually starting production. The two lived up to their expectations and started writing music and lyrics for the play after completing "Flower Drum Song". Unlike before, this time they encountered an unprecedented obstacle: Oscar Hammerstein II's health was declining. The doctor diagnosed him with gastric cancer, and everyone except him knew about it. Although everyone had hope, they also thought that this might be the last work of this giant in the musical theater industry. Richard Rodgers has always been unafraid of changing genres, but Austrian-style church songs gave the composer, who had little exposure to this type of music due to religious issues, a headache, and he made the first observation in his life. During the audition, the play received the same favorable reviews as before, and people welcomed the play. At this time, Oscar Hammerstein II was already recovering in the hospital. Before it was performed on Broadway, he had time to add one of his last lyrics: " Edelweiss" wrote the play, and his condition worsened and he died a year after the play was performed. On Broadway, the play was also highly praised and tied for the Tony Award for Best Musical with "Fioniello" which won the Perry Award that year. The heroine Mary Martin also received wide recognition once again. Since this play can almost be said to be written for her, the content is very focused on the heroine, and the male characters actually have few opportunities to perform. In London, England, the show was (as always) savaged by critics, but miraculously it ran for twice as long in the UK as it did in the United States. The version of the musical that everyone is familiar with now has little difference from the original. At most, only a few songs have been changed, but it made another star Julie Andrews famous. The play is very popular with audiences and is often repeated in the United States and even around the world. Actors who have appeared in the show include: Theodore Bikel, Kurt Kasznar, Marion Marlowe, Patricia Neway, John Randalph, Imelda de Martin, Jean Bayless, Petula Clark, Frederica von Stade, Debbie Boone, Laurence Guittard, Rebecca Luker, Michael Siberry , Patti Cohenour, Jan Maxwell, Laura Benanti, Richard Chamberlain, Connie Fisher, Alexander Hon, etc. Act One ("Preludium") In an Austrian convent, the nuns are doing morning service. ("Morning Hymn") They ended by praising God. ("Alleluia") Sister Maria appears, who did not attend morning classes because she went to sing. ("Sound of Music") The nuns and teachers were troubled by this playful and cute nun, and everyone discussed her whereabouts. ("Maria") The dean sent her to work as a teacher in a family with seven children but no mother. Before leaving, Maria sang a duet with the dean. ("Favourite Things").
After arriving, she was initially hostile to the seven children. One night, the children were frightened by the sound of thunder. Maria taught them to distract themselves ("The Lonely Goatherd") and everyone began to like Maria. The next day, she taught the children to sing again. ("Do Re Mi") Everyone obviously has a crush on this teacher. One of the children, the eldest daughter, fell in love with the messenger soldier Laufu, and the two flirted under the moonlight. ("Sixteen Going on Seventeen") This was discovered by Maria and she agreed to hide on her behalf, and the two became good friends. The children's father, the captain of the navy, returned and found that the children had changed a lot. The previous discipline was completely gone, so he almost dismissed Maria. However, seeing that they were very good to his girlfriend, the Baroness, and knowing that Maria taught them, he decided to Leave her behind. The baroness and the captain's friend Max talk about the world, which is very ironic. ("How Can Love Survive") At a party, the children, led by Maria, said good night to the guests. ("So Long
Farewell") Everyone praised the captain for this. In addition, the captain and Maria are in love with each other, but the baroness sees through it, and she hints to Maria to leave; at this time, the captain tells the child that he wants to marry the baroness. After returning to the monastery, Maria had been depressed. The abbot explained to her the essence of life, which made her suddenly enlightened. ("Climb Every Mountain") Act 2 ("Entr'acte") Having figured it out, Maria returns to the captain's home and resumes her position as a teacher. The captain felt that he could no longer hide his love for Maria, and he was discouraged by the different views of the Baroness and turned to Maria ("No Way to Stop It"). ("An Ordinary Couple") When the Baroness exits and Maria marries the captain, the nuns sing their blessings. ("Canticle") When the two returned from their honeymoon, Austria had been occupied by Germany. The captain despised the Nazi style and remained stubborn. Max arranged a performance for their family, which made the captain very unhappy. He also received a new order from Germany to become the captain. They tried to steal it, but failed. The performance was set up to show the friendship between Germany and Austria. The captain couldn't stand it, so he sang "Edelweiss" ("Edelweiss"), which aroused the Austrians' longing for their motherland. With the help of Farewell and the nuns who sang So Long before, they evacuated secretly. Lauf also hid for them at the critical moment; in the end, they ended with the song "Climb Every Mountain" on the way to Switzerland. . [Additional information: Because there are too many transition music and Reprises, they are not included here. ] [Additional information: There are deletions and additions in the film version. The three songs "How Can Love Survive", "No Way to Stop It" and "Canticle" were deleted, and the two songs "I have Confident" and "Something Good" were added. , the former expresses Maria's mood of leaving the monastery, and the latter is a love song between Maria and the captain.
