Story
Though she's only 18, Maria Kutschera perfectly knows her future: she will devote her life to God and become a nun at the Nonnberg Abbey in Saltzburg. The mother superior however doubts this reclusive and meditative life is suitable for the spirited character of the young girl. Before to take her vow, she asks her to spend a few months at the Baron von Trapp. Since his wife was dead, the poor man indeed has a great deal of problems with his daughter maria and none of the 25(!) tutors he hired during the 18 previous months managed to make herself accepted by his children...
Trapp Family in France
The series was shown on France 3 in 1995, 96 and 98. It is also broadcasted every now and then on RTL9 (on the cable). The French opening is interpreted by Claude Lombard on the same melody (and video clip) as the Italian's. French networks were afraid to shock some parents and decided to cut most of the scenes were Nazis appeared: episodes 37 and 40 were largely censored; episodes 38 and 39 were simply removed: viva History!
Trapp Family in Germany and Austria
Austria was the first German speaking country to have Maria's story in 1998 (on ORF1). Germans had to wait until summer 2001 to watch it on RTL2, where it was broadcasted twice between July and October. The opening has the same melody as one of the Japanese Trapp songs.
Trapp Family in Italy
The story of the Trapp Family was shown on Italia 1 in September 1995. The credit song is interpreted by Cristina D'Avena.
