Sound of Music Gala returns to Salzburg on October 23, 2025. Celebrate 60 years of the beloved movie in the Felsenreitschule — the iconic filming location of the final concert scene.

This special evening is organized by the Salzburger Landestheater and SalzburgLand Tourism. They bring together original cast members, musical stars, and the von Trapp family for a magical celebration. For fans of the film and musical lovers alike, this gala is a rare opportunity to witness history live on stage.

What Awaits You at the Gala

  • Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich in the movie) co-hosts alongside other cast members
  • Johannes von Trapp, with his children Sam and Christina, shares real family stories
  • Patrizia Unger and Lukas Perman perform as Maria and the Captain
  • Musical performances by the Mozarteum Orchestra and the Salzburger Kinderchor

In addition to music and storytelling, guests will enjoy insights into the making of the film. The presence of the real Trapp descendants and original actors creates a powerful link between the movie’s history and its lasting legacy. Moreover, this emotional and nostalgic evening takes place in a venue seen by over four billion people on screen.
