The hills are alive again—and not just in cinemas or on your home screen. A highly anticipated new production of "The Sound of Music" is launching its major North American tour, bringing the unforgettable story of the von Trapp family to stages in over 55 cities. For countless fans, this is the perfect opportunity to rediscover the songs and the story that have captivated generations. But while the actors dazzle on stage, many dream of seeing the real-life backdrop to this world-famous narrative. Salzburg Panorama Tours invites you to make that dream a reality and feel the enchantment of the original filming locations on the Original Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg. 

The Sound of Music, reimagined  

For six decades, the story of the spirited novice Maria, who wins the heart of the stern Captain von Trapp and his seven children through the power of music, has touched a global audience. It’s a tale of courage, love for one's homeland, and the strength of family in the face of historic events. The upcoming tour, under the creative guidance of Broadway director Jack O’Brien, promises a fresh yet moving interpretation that honors the heart of the story. 

Imagine being swept away by classics like "My Favorite Things" or the joyful "Do-Re-Mi" in the theater. And now, picture yourself strolling through the Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg, the very place where the von Trapp children danced around the Pegasus Fountain in the film. Or seeing the Leopoldskron Palace live, whose majestic façade served as the family’s residence. The "Original Sound of Music Tour" by Salzburg Panorama Tours connects the fiction of the movie with the tangible history of Salzburg. You’ll travel comfortably to the famous sites in the city and the surrounding Salzkammergut region, including the church in Mondsee where the romantic movie wedding was filmed. During the drive, you can enjoy the famous classics from the musical and even sing along! 

While the tour in North America captures the hearts of audiences, a trip to Salzburg offers an unparalleled deepening of this experience. It is a pilgrimage to the roots of a beautiful story. Let the stage magic in the U.S. inspire you, and then follow the footsteps of the von Trapp family in Austria. Discover for yourself why, even after more than 60 years, the hills around Salzburg are still filled with music. We are happy to help you plan your trip to Salzburg
