The original stage production of The Sound of Music is to be performed for the first time in the Austrian capital, 40 years after the film was released.
Despite being one of the most successful musicals of all time, it is barely known inside Austria.
The film was never shown in any cinema in Austria and was not broadcast on television until the early 1990s.
The musical is based on the true story of the von Trapp family who formed a singing troupe and escaped from Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938.
Sensitivities about Nazism during wartime Austria and issues towards the von Trapp family themselves could explain Austria's reluctance to embrace the musical.
《音乐之声》重归故里
经典电影《音乐之声》上映40年后,新编舞台剧《音乐之声》将首次在奥地利首都上演。
尽管《音乐之声》长期以来一直被公认为最成功的音乐电影之一,它在奥地利本国却默默无闻。
这部电影从未在奥地利的任何电影院公映,直到上世纪90年代初期,才出现在电视屏幕上。
这部音乐电影背后有一个真实的故事:冯·特拉普一家组建了一个合唱团,1938年,他们成功逃离了当时被纳粹占领的奥地利。
战时的奥地利对纳粹主义的敏感,加上与冯·特拉普家族有关的种种问题可以解释为什么奥地利人对这部电影的态度不够热情。
