Description

Unveiled on the Broadway stage in November 1959, the musical The Sound of Music (La Mélodie du bonheur in its French version) is one of the greatest successes in the history of musical theatre. Based on the memoirs of Maria von Trapp, a young Austrian governess on the eve of the Nazi occupation, the show, co-written by the famous Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein duo, quickly triumphed on both sides of the Atlantic before conquering the rest of the world thanks to its film adaptation. Released in cinemas in 1965, the feature film directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer is one of the great classics of Hollywood’s golden age. The following year, 'The Sound Of Music' won five Oscars, including Best Original Score, which includes Julie Andrews and Bill Lee’s renditions of 'Edelweiss', 'My Favorite Things', 'Climb Every Mountain', 'Do-Re-Mi', 'Sixteen Going on Seventeen', 'The Lonely Goatherd' and its unforgettable title song. The melodies are one of the most popular soundtracks of all time, like the true cultural phenomenon with unmatched longevity that is The Sound of Music.
