The Sound of Music with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II has become one of the best known and most beloved musicals of all time. Based on the memoir of Maria Von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, it tells the story of a good-natured, flighty novitiate who is hired to care for the seven children of widowed Austrian naval officer, Captain Von Trapp. Maria ultimately wins the heart of the children and the captain, but their lives are threatened by the encroachment of Nazis.
