The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music will be staged in Singapore at the Esplanade Theatre next month.

At the back of my mind, the tunes "My Favourite Things", "Do-Re-Mi", "So Long, Farewell" still ring vaguely. I vaguely remember that I have watched a television programme that featured the story of the Sound of Music when I was very young as a child. I have an impression that it is a programme with nice songs and beautiful sceneries, and charmed with innocence from the main characters.

According to the synopsis of the programme found on the ticketing website:
The Sound of Music is the inspiring true story of Maria Rainer. Set in Salzberg, in pre-World War II Austria, Maria serves as a governess for the seven children of the widowed Captain von Trapp. Her growing rapport with the von Trapp children, coupled with her generosity and spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain von Trapp. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that the Nazis have invaded Austria and have demanded the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. This sets off a rollicking adventure towards the mountains of Switzerland, and freedom.


Would anyone be interested to watch this with me? Else I shall catch it by myself.

Basic details can be found on the ticketing website.

Hi Emily, if I got you right, you are asking how I can have comments at the end of each post. I am using Blogger. So I log in and then go to "Comments" under "Settings" and make the necessary selection.

For example, make it default for all posts to have comments. I prefer to choose "No" under "show comments in pop up window" for apparently a few of my readers blocks pop-up, and they gave feedback that they have difficulties writing their comments.

How I wish I lived in Singapore and could go with you!! The Sound of Music is one of my all-time favorite musicals. The music is wonderful, and the plot itself is so good (for a musical), particularly considering that it's based on a true story. I love all the songs--particularly "Edelweiss."

Have fun!

oh yes, Waterfall, you reminded me. Edelweiss is nice. Nice musical.
