The Von Trapp's in Manila

Christmas is really fun here in the Philippines, for we are known to have the longest Christmas celebration all over the world. We started the season as early as September 1, Christmas songs are heard over the radio, Justin said he is happy to know that kind of fun here in the Philippines, and as a Christmas treat for all Filipino fans of the musical classic The Sound of Music, the great grandchildren of Baron George Ritter Von Trapp and his first wife Agathe Von Trapp, whose life story was here in Manila for a special series of shows.

The Von Trapp Children are comprised of Justin, Amanda, Melanie and Sofia, and are also known as the “JAMS” quartet from their initials. Though young, they know every song from the movie "Sound of Music", “Do, Re, Mi” to “ Edelweiss” by heart, and lot more.

I am fond of one of the most successful and most endearing films of all time, a dream come true for me to meet the Von Trapp in person. The Sound of Music, was based on the story of the real Von Trapp family of Austria.

It was the governess Maria’s account of her life with the widower Baron Georg Ritter Von Trapp and his seven children in the book, The Story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, which first caused a stir as a bestseller, and whose rights were later bought by a German producer.

Everyone who watched The Sound of Music at Resorts World Manila’s Newport Performing Arts Theater were captivated by the Von Trapp family and the delightful songs they sang, which have remained popular to this day. Relive the enchantment all over again as the latest generation of the world’s most famous singing family was heard by enthrall audiences at SM Southmall ~ 2012 Mall Tour. Today, 10th of December, Thank you Sofia, Melanie, Amanda, and Justin Von Trapp, commonly known as The Von Trapp Singers, singing and sharing their heart warming family stories.
