Trapp family (sh)




Austrian singers.

Maria Augusta Kutschera (1905-87), the family's best-known member, was an orphan and novitiate in a Benedictine convent in Salzburg. Later, as a governess, she won the hearts of the seven children of the widower Baron Georg von Trapp (1880?-1947) and of the baron himself. They married in 1927, had three children, and later began singing German and liturgical Music under the Reverend Franz Wasner, with whom the family fled in 1938 from Nazi-dominated Austria to Italy, and finally to Stowe, Vt., U.S. They toured the world to great acclaim, disbanding in 1955. Their story was the subject of the musical The Sound of Music (1959; Film, 1965).
