An Evening with Kristina von Trapp, granddaughter of the real Maria von Trapp and the Captain

[@terrychancellor4593]

What a beautiful tribute to the family!! I have been fortunate to meet Elizabeth Von Trapp several times and hear her sing at my church in Virginia. I even had her sign a painting I created just for the occasion of her first visit. It was, of course, an Edelweiss. Elizabeth is a beautiful singer and I have many of her cds. What a treasure of hope and inspiration this family is and continues to be for all of us. An example of what life can be when faith, love, and hope are at the center despite all challenges. I definitely need to visit Vermont!!

An impressive document that shows us the true life of a family that consisted of strong personalities who braved all storms, but remained standing.

My husband met and had pizza with Maria Von Trapp in the early 1970s in Ann Arbor, MI. She was not like Julie Andrews, but a rather forceful woman. He enjoyed her very much.

She talked to me briefly in the lobby. Amazing woman with a warm soul. I think, as a musician, there is a lot of energy in that lodge, if I could afford it, I would live there.

[@megb9700]

I really enjoyed listening to Maria tell her story. She may have had eye disease and couldn’t see well, but there was a real twinkle in her eye! You could see why the Captain fell for her.😊

I went on a tour of the places in Salzburg year 2016 where The Sound of Music was recorded and with this documentary interview of Kristina von Trapp, I reconnected the real story with the movie much clearly now from the real one..Thanks a lot. Sept 16,2024 I will be in Vienna, nice to reminisce the story of the Von Trapp family.

[@kcya8892]

This is by far the best documentary featuring Mairia that i have watched!!!

[@katalenanarokobi6786]

Wonderful story and good to know that Maria Von Trapp came to Papua New Guinea and settled in Alotau, Milne Bay Province. She helped to write the Catholic Hymn Book in the local Suwau language. Thankyou Maria for your contribution to the people of Milne Bay. PNG. 🙏❤

[@candacewilliams6869]

Maria's books are so much better than the movie. Everyone should read the real stories of this wondeful family!

[@judithhstevens126]

Yes

[@mountaingirl6479]

I totally agree!! People think everything in the movie was true.

[@iloveowls90]

@@mountaingirl6479 like Kristina says in this it was NOT a documentary but i do love the fact that the real maria saw the movie and liked it at least!

[@mountaingirl6479]

I wish she would have talked about the whistle and peoples’ misconceptions bc of the movie. People think the captain was so overbearing and blew the whistle to exercise military control over the family. In Maria’s book and maybe Agatha‘s book they talk about how the whistles were used because the grounds were very large, and it was more convenient than yelling to try to find someone. He was a kind and gentle man according to the family. But I sure enjoyed this presentation, it was very well done and she was very engaging. Thank you!!

I am almost 70, recently sold my home and bought a tiny home. I just unpacked a box that had my lederhosen and 3 different sweaters from my childhood in Austria. 🙂. (None of my family wants any of them😞)

[@arbonneladyTN]

Two our my kids & wonderful son-in-love were just there on the grounds in Salzburg two weeks ago. Loved their pictures. Sending the video to our daughter .

[@shelbyminnick7959]

Incredible… thank you for this!? My family came from, Finland… May God continue to bless you!

[@patrices.strong73rt]

[@Ants174]

Finally i found this thank u so much i really love miss maria story

[@debbieedwards5267]

Such a beautiful story! Loved seeing the the real Maria on film. What a wonderful person!

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Captain von Trapp was the highest decorated U-Boat Commander in WW1.

[@rose-marietrembloy243]

You all consider the film THE SOUND OF MUSIC as THE story of the Trapp family, you may have been a fan, but there was another film Die Familie Trapp that was really much nearer to the truth.

[@wap9137]

Is it in English?

[@ilanarhian]

Well and there was Maria Von Trapp‘s book

[@amandamandamands]

@@wap9137 It was filmed in German, I don't know if there is a dubbed version

[@wap9137]

@@amandamandamands I found it on KZbin and watched it. Very good movie.

[@pawprintsjersey5787]

Marie was a wicket mum very controlling controlled they 10 kids, she didnt allow the kids to mix out side socially, she was rebel strong women though, the dad was gentle man, Maria was a bully to him also, when he died she felt guilty for treating him very bad. Sound of music all twisted Americanised. It was all money power. Kids had it tough it definitely wasnt a bed of roses. ❤😮

[@cor-z8m]

Passed by this hotel….just gorgeous!

[@kimberlylovell9478]

Thank you for this presentation. I will have to look into this further. I didn’t know that you had a lodge.

[@arbonneladyTN]

That was fascinating to watch! I learned so much. Thank you for this glimpse into the true Von Trapp family. My question; Maria spoke of a small graveyard on the land, are the rest of the family buried there as well?

[@JanetWhisler]

Thank u so much. I was in Salzburg in the 80’s & thought how beautiful it was! Loved The Sound of Music movie as a forever movie for everyone to see. The real Maria VonTrapp was oh so lovely & sweet. My love’s father was a professional golfer & retired to Stowe, Vt & was golf pro there & he knew Maria after the Captain had died. He & my love’s father had some dinners Maria cooked at the lodge.

[@cliveuckfield5139]

Just returned from a trip to Switzerland & Austria where i led a group of largely young people in the song Edelweiss on the last night tallent show. Have been a huge Sound of Music fan all my life! Would love to visit lodge in Vermont. Would love to get your dads autograph? Much love from England.

[@friendlhi]

that was very interesting 👍

[@caterinemasak2193]

Wonderful family films

[@Barbara-jq2se]

Oh, I’m gonna listen to this one. Should be very interesting. Esp; if they show any pics that bring back memories.

[@brasschick4214]

I stayed at Villa Von Trapp in 2015 in Rupert’s former bedroom. Not as grand as the movie but lovely.

[@colleenkelleher393]

Saw a similar presentation when I visited the vontrapp motel last decade. Loved it there

[@newlywedbeth]

I love watching "Die Trapp Familie" and "Die Trapp Familie im Amerika" on KZbin every Christmas. Much more true to reality. "Sound of Music" is good too, but very fantastical.

[@CarolA-ww5rk]

Wonderful. 💜 💜

[@Rev.Dr.Vanderbilt4778]

Get out of town ! I did not know the von Trapps where a real family. Amazing.

[@sherrieandherbreynolds5882]

Sound of music was just Hollywood movie, real story is much more interesting, they were quite close family who worked together

[@denisehooper9480]

Did Maria and the Captain find love after they married since it was God's will? I loved how Maria described how they came to marry.

[@kathleenlarson373]

I believe he did. I read he was just a kind-hearted person. Maria had the drive to promote the family's singing.

[@judithhstevens126]

The part in the musical regarding Maria some true some not But the historical part about Hitler etc is true They did leave because of Hitler

[@michaelkraus5984]

SOM tour: Yes!!!!!

[@judithhstevens126]

There books on Maria the mother biography and autobiography book Trap family singers books that talk about the travels in America before the lodge.

[@amandamandamands]

The sequel that Maria wrote talks about building the lodge and the summer music camps

Marie was a wicket mum very controlling controlled the 10 kids, maybe because she beaten daily by her uncle, where she ran away at 15, the mum never allow the kids to mix out side socially, she was rebel strong women though, the dad was gentle man, Maria was a bully to him also, when he died she felt guilty for treating him very bad. Sound of music all twisted Americanised. It was all money power. Kids had it tough it definitely wasnt a bed of roses. ❤

Jesus Christ, the thrill of hope, for a sick, hurting, and weary world-Romans 10:9-10 from the Bible: “That if you confess with your mouth the LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.”
