For fellow movie-musical lovers it may interest you that The Sound of Music was filmed in and around Salzburg.
Monique, who has loved the movie for literally 20 years, was giddy with excitement.
Salzburg offers a variety of kitsch Sound of Music tours that didn’t quite fit our budget, so Monique painstakingly researched where all the scenes from the film were shot.
Over a two-day period she enthusiastically marched around Salzburg and it’s surrounds pointing out buildings, fountains and streets, while spontaneously breaking out into song at every opportunity. Daniel was somewhat less enthusiastic, but unfortunately for everyone involved, he got all the songs stuck in his head and could also be heard in full voice.
Sights visited include Maria’s abbey, the fountain that she drinks from and the Von Trapp villa in which she sings ‘I Have Confidence’, the gardens from ‘Do-Re Mi’, the church where The Kaptain and Maria were married, the back view of the house, the pavilion from ’Sixteen Going On Seventeen’ and of course, the lively musical hills on which we did some obligatory twirling.
It was a major highlight for Monique, while Daniel will be happy if he doesn’t have to hear the soundtrack again for at least 3 years :)
