《音乐之声》是美国两位音乐剧大师合力打造的最后一部音乐剧,由理查德·罗杰斯作曲,奥斯卡·翰默斯坦二世填词。《音乐之声》根据玛利亚·冯·特拉普的自传——《冯·特拉普家的歌手们》改编而成。该剧于1959年11月16日在百老汇的鲁德-方特恩剧院首次公演,之后多次重新再版演出。
The story is about a nun from Nonnberg Abbey called Maria. She was sent off to be the governess to Captain Von Trapp's seven troublesome children. Alone with children, she broke through their wariness and taught them the basics of music. Moved by Maria's purity and kindness, Von Trapp fell in love with and married Maria. Because of the great depression, the Captain became penniless. The couple and seven children formed a professional band. However, the Nazis invaded Austria later. The captain refused to obey the Nazi's order. At the concert, the whole family sang So Long, Farewell eventually and fled over the mountains (the Alps) to avoid the search of the Nazis.
故事是关于来自农博格修道院的一位名叫玛丽亚的修女。她被送到盖尔·冯·特拉普上尉家去照顾七个调皮的孩子。通过和孩子们的单独交往,玛丽亚消除了孩子们的戒心并教他们一些基础音乐知识。冯·特拉普被玛丽亚的单纯和善良感动,爱上了玛丽亚并娶她为妻。因为经济大萧条,上尉变得一无所有。这对夫妻带领七个孩子组成乐队进行职业演唱。然而,后来德国纳粹占领奥地利。上尉拒绝听从纳粹的命令。在一场音乐会上,为了躲避纳粹的搜寻, 一家人最后唱完《晚安,再见!》后从阿尔卑斯山逃走。
People are not only fascinated by the characters, such as undisciplined Maria, patriotic Captain, but also intoxicated by beautiful melodies like The Sound of Music, Do Re Mi and Edelweiss . The Sound of Music was a great success and picked up 6 Tony Awards.
人们不仅被鲜明的角色如不受繁文缛节拘束的玛丽亚、具备爱国情怀的上尉所吸引,也沉醉于剧中优美的旋律,如《音乐之声》《哆来咪》《雪绒花》。《音乐之声》取得了巨大的成功,共摘得六项托尼戏剧奖。
