The Sound of Music (Theatre) | comment |
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Sound of Music is the famous musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein, based on the story of the Trapp Family Singers. The musical was inspired by an earlier, now largely forgotten German movie adaptation of the book and was made into a movie in 1965, with Julie Andrews as Maria and Christopher Plummer as the Captain. In 1991, the book was again independently adapted in a 40 episode anime as part of the World Masterpiece Theater series. A live broadcast of the original stage production starring Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer aired on NBC in 2013, the first live television presentation of a musical since Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella in 1957. ITV followed suit in 2015 with its own live broadcast, starring Kara Tointon and Julian Ovenden.Features nuns, Those Wacky Nazis, and not the Austrian national anthem. The film is virtually unknown in Austria itself, which is odd considering the English-speaking world knows Austria as "that country from The Sound of Music" (that or "the country where Mozart is from"). The exception being the city of Salzburg (which is, ironically, also Mozart's hometown), and mostly because of the tourists constantly talking about The Sound of Music.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Has inspired enough pop culture references and pastiches to fill a small article on The Other Wiki, although there actually isn't one.For those who have still managed to live under a rock (or in Austria) for the past 50 years, the musical follows Maria Rainer, a young postulant from Nonnberg Abbey, as she is sent to be a governess to the seven children of retired Navy Captain Georg von Trapp. She soon discovers that the captain not only runs a tight ship, but also cannot bear to be reminded of his wife, meaning that he spends a lot of time in Vienna with Elsa Schraeder (she is a Baroness in the film, but only "Frau Schraeder" in the stage show), with whom he has struck up a romance. As a result, the children are rather rebellious and disdainful of any governesses (who were, as befitting authority figures of the time, rather strict). Maria is, however, kind towards them, and easily befriends the lot, teaching them songs and letting them frolic around the Austrian countryside. Captain von Trapp is, of course, rather taken aback, but soon rediscovers his pent-up happiness and begins to fall in love with Maria, who still hasn't worked out her own emotions. A brief trip back to the Abbey — and a cluebat expertly wielded by the Reverend Mother — convinces her to go with the flow, and she returns and marries Georg.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Unfortunately the Anschluss happens while the two are on their honeymoon and when they return Georg is "asked" to accept a command in the new German navy. Being strongly opposed to Hitler, the family resolves to leave Austria for Switzerland using the pretext of attending a local folk music festival for cover. But the Nazis are not so easily bamboozled and the von Trapps will not get away quite that easily... | |

Voice Types | |
The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_11a6ee0c | comment |
Voice Types: Maria is a soprano, but could be a mezzo, as is The Barroness and Mother Superior. The Captainnote whose singing voice is provided by Bill Lee is a baritone, while Max and Rolf are baritone/tenor crosses. The nuns can come in a variety of voice types, from contralto to soprano. The children have similar ranges, but the girls are technically mezzo-sopranos, while Kurt is a boy soprano and Friedrich, being 14, could be a countertenor (Yes. The voice type that has only 1 other role in musical theatre!) or a tenor with a good falsetto, but of course you need a singer whose voice doesn't crack, or even a boy soprano who is tall enough to look 14.... The only voice type that is not displayed at all is bass, assuming that Friedrich is a countertenor, because the Captain has to hit a high G above middle C in "So Long, Farewell"'s reprise. | |

I'll Take That as a Compliment: Herr Zeller says he's flattered when the Captain says he would be the entire trumpet section if the Nazis took over Austria. Makes more sense when you realize that trumpeters are generally regarded as egotistical, because they like to "blow their own horns". | |

The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_191a3673 | comment |
Graceful Loser: The Baroness, eventually. One can scarcely blame her for putting up a fight for her love, she's been working on Georg for a long time now. In the musical, however, she gives up the fight for a different reason, in that she and Georg disagree on how to handle the oncoming invasion of Nazis into their country. She is graceful, but the scene where she breaks their engagement is quite heartbreaking. | |

The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the show, Rolfe finds the family and calls for his Lieutenant, but decides not to turn them in after seeing Liesl. In the movie, Rolfe almost lets them get away after the Captain takes his gun but ends up calling for the Nazis anyway. Zig-Zagged by the Baroness's character. She's cattier to Maria in the film adaptation, but once she realizes she's lost the Captain to her, she exits much more gracefully and amicably than in the original stage musical. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The film takes advantage of the fact that it doesn't take place on a single stage to expand the story — such as Maria taking longer to gain the children's trust, an extended trip through Salzburg and up into the mountains, and the kids trying to go and see Maria when she returns to the abbey. | |

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Christopher Plummer interestingly has a smaller presence in the marketing materials than the leading men of Fox's other Rodgers and Hammerstein movies, as none of the DVD covers show him on the front. When he does appear on theatrical posters and covers for other home video formats, he gets pushed to the side in favor of Maria and/or the kids. | |

The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool In Real Life, they simply got on a train to Italy. The musical/movie's method of escape gives a better climax - tying in with the "Climb Every Mountain" reprise - and the film provides prettier visuals. But it also fails logic, since they're walking in the direction of Hitler's Mountain retreat, and a division of SS. In the play, Rolf calls a false alarm without any actual prompting, once he realizes that he'd bear the burden of Liesl's possible death. In the movie, Georg has to go out and put Rolf in his place. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade: Prior to the Anschluss, Austria had been a fascist dictatorship for four years. While the musical technically doesn't say anything to contradict this, it does create the impression that Austria was a free country before it fell to the Third Reich. And the film refers to pre-Anschluss Austria as "the last Golden Days of the Thirties". | |

Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification: Type 4.

The Maria Theresa order, by the way, is a partial example of this trope. According to legend you get that medal by succeeding in defiance of orders. That is amusing but only partly true. The medal is for "initiative" not disobedience - said initiative can (but is not required to) include initiative in disobediance of orders, extraordinary success being the justification. And it is true that such disobedience would probably lead to a court martial if the maneuver were less successful. | |

Aluminum Christmas Trees: Hearing that von Trapp was a naval captain confuses some modern viewers, considering that he lives in a country that, at present, has no coastline. The thing is, before the end of World War One and the Treaty of Versailles taking a lot of territory away from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was connected to the sea (the Adriatic, specifically), and had a small but well-trained navy with cutting-edge equipment and ships. | |

Les Collaborateurs: All the Austrians who are accepting Nazi rule are collaborators, represented by Uncle Max and the Baroness. But the Captain refuses to budge, straining their relationship with him. In Real Life, the majority of Austrians viewed themselves at that time as Germans and not as their own nation (with prominent people in the minority being Austrian nobility like the Von Trapps, who were afraid to be dominated by the largely-Prussian German nobility, Prussia being Austria's rival). | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: The Captain was in the Austrian Navy. But wait, isn't Austria landlocked? It was in 1938 but not in 1914, when Austria owned Croatia and had a small but well-trained and well-equipped navy dominating the Adriatic Sea. The Captain was one of Austria-Hungary's most illustrious World War I heroes at sea. He commanded two submarines, the U-5 and U-14, and conducted 19 war patrols during which he sank 11 enemy merchantmen, captured a French armored cruiser and an Italian submarine, and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa. The Maria Theresa order, by the way, is a partial example of this trope. According to legend you get that medal by succeeding in defiance of orders. That is amusing but only partly true. The medal is for "initiative" not disobedience - said initiative can (but is not required to) include initiative in disobediance of orders, extraordinary success being the justification. And it is true that such disobedience would probably lead to a court martial if the maneuver were less successful. The whistles were real. RL Captain von Trapp had a weak voice. He did not however drill them as if they were in the navy. The family used the whistles to locate each other and communicate across their vast property. The whistles could be heard from one corner to the other, instead of spending hours hunting down a child. They used them as an effective method of communication up until their departure from the country. | |

Villainy-Free Villain: The Baroness is shown to genuinely love Von Trapp and her jealousy is mostly justified. Nevertheless, the children in the film despise her after Maria leaves despite her efforts to be motherly towards them. Sure, she inspired Maria to leave, and planned to send the children to a boarding school, but the alternative was to live with a woman her husband loved more than her and seven children who hated her. | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: In a meta sense with the stage-based musical and the film; while the former is always popular, the latter is SO much more famous and well-known that, when watching the play for the first time, people can often get confused and put off by the original locations of some of the songs e.g. My Favorite Things being sung by Maria and the Reverend Mother. | |

Ignored Epiphany: Rolf has a brief moment of taking the Captain up on his offer to run away with his family. Then he alerts the Nazis after rejecting it. Inverted in the stage musical, where Rolf calls the Lieutenant, but then says it's a false alarm after realizing that Liesl would be hurt or killed. | |

Not So Different: In the stage musical, the Mother Abbess and Maria sing "My Favorite Things" and it was a song that Maria heard when she was watching the Mother Abbess work in the garden and sing. Part of the reason that Captain Von Trapp loves Maria is that she shares his Honor Before Reason love for Austria and the mountains. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Max, after spending the entire musical/film being pleasant and accommodating to the German occupation, takes a serious risk by helping the von Trapps escape. The 2013 live version makes it darker. After it's announced the Von Trapps have escaped, Max is shown being seized and dragged offstage by Nazi officials, presumably to face Redemption Equals Death. | |

The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Discussed in the musical, where Max and Baroness Schneider point out that the Nazi movement is coming, but Captain Von Trapp refuses to bow his head to a German when he is an Austrian. Max and Schrader point out that he could at least pretend so that they'll leave him alone. Maria leaves when Brigitta in the musical and Schneider in the movie tell her that Captain Von Trapp loves her. She leaves because she's frightened at the thought of loving a man and forsaking her dream to be a nun. The Mother Abbess encourages her to pursue her love, to take risks and to find out what that new dream will be. | |

Oh, Crap!: A hilarious example happens in the middle of "I Have Confidence". Maria has been building herself up to a fantastic crescendo, "They will look up to ME! AND MIND ME!" But as she approaches the gate, the tempo slows and she gets much, much softer — and when she reaches the gate, she looks inward and says, "Oh, help." Then as she passes through the gate, she gets her confidence back. | |

When confronted with Liesl and clearly understanding what will happen to her (and her family) he claims it's a false alarm and deceives his superiors. | |

What You Are in the Dark: Max spends most of the stage musical and film acting as a leech and an opportunist to Captain Von Trapp and the Nazis, claiming that it's better to bend to the Reich's will than to fight an inevitable defeat. Come the film's climax, he warns them via a Batman Gambit during a Music Festival that the Nazis are going to force Captain Von Trapp to work for them, and stalls during the awards to give them enough time to escape. | |

Colorblind Casting: The 2013 live version casts a black woman (Audra McDonald) in the role of the Mother Abbess. Well okay, it's not impossible that a black woman could be in an Austrian nunnery in the 1930s, but it seems very unlikely. Incidentally, McDonald is the same woman who was color-blindly cast in the 1999 version of Annie. | |

Not to mention when Maria, at first, told the Reverend Mother she left because she was "frightened". To which the Reverend Mother says, "Frightened, were they unkind to you?" The tone which she uses indicates she is very protective of the nuns. | |

The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_d44ea142 | comment |
You Are Not Alone: When at the final concert, Captain von Trapp's voice breaks when singing "Edelweiss" as he is surrounded by Nazi propaganda. Maria and the children join with him and give him the strength to carry on. Made stronger in the movie when the audience joins in with them, including several Nazi soldiers. | |

Fake Shemp: For the final scene where the family are hiking over the mountain, it's not actually Kym Karath playing Gretel. She had gained a lot of weight while in Switzerland and was too heavy for Christopher Plummer to carry, so a double was used. | |

Denied Food as Punishment: Subverted. Von Trapp tells the children that they won't have supper after they tell him they ate strawberries when they tried to see Maria. He revokes it pretty quickly, though. You can tell he didn't buy the berry story for a second. | |

The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_d97f6f0c | comment |
Musicalis Interruptus: "Maria" comes to a pause when Maria herself rushes in after returning from the hills. The musical number "My Favorite Things" ends abruptly when Maria bumps into the Captain (after the line "When the dog bites" no less.) The Captain does this to himself while singing "Edelweiss" because he is so overcome with emotion. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
The Sound of Music (Theatre) / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In reality, Georg and Maria were married in 1927, Maria only really grew to love Georg romantically after they had married, and she had borne two more kids by the time they left. Not only that, but they simply got on a train to Italy rather than hiking over the mountains. It's a fact of local legend that after the stage musical was written, anytime it was performed within a couple hours' drive of Stowe, Vermont, Maria von Trapp would attend opening night. The depiction of Georg von Trapp as a stern disciplinarian annoyed his wife, as he was the exact opposite in real life—it was Maria who was the strict one. (She did, however, adore Christopher Plummer.) In the movie, Georg quickly decides to reject the offer of a Captaincy in the Kriegsmarine and leave Austria as soon as possible. He actually anguished over the decision for a while. Technology had made such big strides since World War I, plus he had spent two decades as a sea-captain without a sea but was still a U-boat warrior at heart, that the offer to command a modern submarine was very, very tempting to him. Of all the exaggerations of their lives, Maria commented in her memoirs that the only thing they didn't go far enough on was her behavior at the convent. She always laughingly commented when asked if she was that bad, "I was worse!" | |

Artistic License – Geography: Heading over the beautiful Alps the way they show in the movie would lead them straight into Germany, not Switzerland. Worse, it takes them straight south from Salzberg to Hitler's Berghof residence, with his seasonal home of Obersalzburg and the Kelhsteinhaus located near Berchtesgaden in southeast Bavaria. | |
