When the Trapp family singers gave their farewell in 1956 performance, most of them assumed that they would have to retire from the bustle of the fans, audiences and journalists to live a family life normal and simply assumed that the public would be to forget their. But this should not be! For shortly after the publication of books of Maria, a German film company had approached in the hope to buy the film rights to this story. As Maria recalled later, "our family has special talent never obtain a solicitor at the right time!" The contract signed with this establishment was far from equitable and caused years of regret when the family was left without any royalties in all!
At the time where a Broadway Director interest was sparked in history, Mary Martin was kind enough to insist for only a small percentage of the revenue of play given to Maria von Trapp, but no there is no such premium for the real Trapp family of the melody of the film. However, their history, liked by people everywhere in the world and brought streams of visitors in their lodge in Stowe, Vermont.
In the years following the release of the film in 1965, the musical performed thousands of times in classrooms around the world, and the film became a success as distant countries such as China, the Finland, Egypt, Japan and Israel!
Perhaps you are you requested after seeing the film, "I wonder where the von Trapp family since"? This question led me looking for the history of the family, and I found that the "children" have lived for life, although their names are actually Rupert (Friedrich), Agathe (Liesl), Maria (Louisa), Werner (Kurt), Hedwig (Brigitta), Johanna (Marta) and Martina (Gretl). Outside, he has three children and Maria gave birth in the 1920s and 30s, who are still alive as of this writing in 2011.
At the time where the singers of the family dissolved Trapp, Rupert, who has recently obtained a medical degree, married a young American woman and had seven children. Agathe founded a nursery school in Maryland, while Maria (the second oldest Trapp daughter) gave his life in service as a missionary for many years and finally adopted one of the children she had supported. Werner was reunited with Erika Klambauer after the war which had been friend dear sister Martina, and after their marriage, they have six wonderful children. Hedwig was used at the family hotel Trapp, helped with the missions in Hawaii and taught children in Austria. Johanna had left the family in 1948 to marry a friend of his brothers, Ernst Winter, with whom she gave birth to seven children near Vienna. Only a year later, the youngest of the first seven children also left the nest to get happily to a Canadian man that she met the family music camp. Tragically, she died in layers having lived more than thirty years, and the family filed a grievance as another Member has continued ahead of them. Rosmarie von Trapp served in missions abroad before retiring from Stowe, where she is an active member of the local Catholic community, while Eleonore, a jovial and perennial Lady, married her American husband in 1954 and had seven daughters! The youngest child Trapp, Johannes, served as President of the lodge of the Trapp family since 1969 and was married to one of the workers Lodge in the same year. He and his wife, Lynn, have two children, who live near them.
Over the years, the von Trapp family has received several awards and distinctions, including a letter from President Lyndon b. Johnson and the decoration or of honour of the State of Salzburg, 70 per cent of whose tourists attribute their only visit to the melody of happiness. Maria herself appears on many television shows and has received much fan mail, perhaps the most touching of which came from Mary Martin, homologous Broadway of Maria who wrote, "Dear Maria, was one of the great pleasures of my life knowing you, plays you and loving you.".
Towards the end of the life of Maria, she heard say, "If God can do a lot for the von Trapp family, it can certainly do the same for you. When she died in March 1987, she has left behind a joyous heritage of faith and family who brought hope to millions of people around the world.
