50th anniversary of „The Sound of Music“ - The grand Gala

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of “The Sound of Music” the von Trapp Family returned to one of the birthplaces of the beloved movie: the immortal songs and melodies brought the breathtaking scenery of the “Felsenreitschule” alive with the Sound of Music. For one evening Salzburg Tourism in cooperation with the Salzburg State Theatre celebrated the global phenomena that is “The Sound of Music” with a grand gala.
Among the highlights of the evening was the appearance by 4 of the movies “original children” (Friedrich: Nicholas Hammond / Louisa: Heather Menzies/ Kurt: Duane Chase/ Marta: Debbie Turner) as well as the unveiling of Madame Tussauds’ Wax figure of Julie Andrews. The host of the evening and one of the star performers was Uwe Kröger.
The whole ensemble of the State Theatre’s stage production together with the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg and surprise guests turned this evening into an unforgettable musical event that captured the magic of “The Sound of Music”. There were up to 50 nuns, 150 children and the biggest Orchestra that ever played in a “Sound of Music” performance.
A very prominent part of the gala was the appearance of the von Trapp family: During their escape, Maria von Trapp was pregnant with her son Johannes von Trapp, who, together with his wife Lynne, was on stage of the “Felsenreitschule”.

I was 10 when this came out. My mother, brother, sister, and I drove 60 miles to see this movie. It was the first time I can remember seeing my mother cry. Such found memories.

[@visitsalzburg]

So happy to hear that you had such found memories :) we hope to see you in Salzburg!

Mi padre me llevó a verla por primera vez al cine (Cinerama), desde ese momento nunca me he cansado de ver esta maravillosa película, además me hace recordarlo porque disfrutábamos mucho verla una y otra vez.

My deceased mother would have so loved to have seen the original family. Thank you.

💗💗💗

[@melonra92862]

Fredrick is so handsome

[@2bless8]

That picture or wax figure or whatever is not Julie Andrews. It looks more like an actor that played her in S.O.M after she did. Haha. They could have made that one better though it is pretty.

[@bhaskarsen6124]

The most epochal film of all times...

[@visitsalzburg]

It really is :) thank you!

[@alisaaasofia3945]

I played Gretel there haha

[@visitsalzburg]

For real? :o

[@Shamsithaca]

That doll...has ZERO resemblance to Julie Andrews HAHAHAH

[@louisedwards3640]

I've always thought that all other versions of Sound of Music are nothing but a theatrical farce

[@mariajordan3650]

This is not even close to the originals!
