The State Behind the Award-Winning Broadway Musical The Sound of Music

If you are familiar with the songs Edelweiss , My Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen and So Long, Farewell, then you are quite possibly an aficionado of the musical The Sound of Music and most likely not Austrian.

I find it entertaining that the world associates this musical to Austria, when it is virtually not a well-known thing there. In fact, The Sound of Music happened to be a Broadway masterpiece in 1959 but it only first appeared at Volksoper in 2005.

Set in Salzburg, this is a legend about Maria, a novice who is sent to the abode of widower Captain Georg Ritter von Trapp to become a governess to his big family inclusive of seven children. Maria in time won their trust while educating them how to sing.

Some inventive companies offer sightseeing tours to the filming set. However, if you have a tight budget, it might be sensible to just go all-around at your own leisure. The locations that were utilized in the film and which you might want to stopover are Mirabell Gardens, Leopoldskron Castle, Schloss Hellbrun and the church in Mondsee. The hills prominent bulks in Salzburg are really worth of your attention, admiration and your precious time!
