While Maria and the Captain are on their honeymoon, Max prepares the children to perform at the Kaltzberg Festival. Herr Zeller, the Gauleiter of the region, demands to know why they are not flying the Flag of Nazi Germany now that the Anschluss has occurred. The Captain and Maria return early from their honeymoon before the Festival. In view of the Nazi German occupation, the Captain decides the children should not sing at the event. Max argues that they would sing for Austria, but the Captain points out that it no longer exists. Maria and Liesl discuss romantic love; Maria predicts that in a few years Liesl will be married ("Sixteen Going on Seventeen (Reprise)"). Rolf enters with a telegram that offers the Captain a commission in the German Navy, and Liesl is upset to discover that Rolf is now a committed Nazi. The Captain consults Maria and decides that they must secretly flee Austria. German Admiral von Schreiber arrives to find out why Captain von Trapp has not answered the telegram. He explains that the German Navy holds him in high regard, offers him the commission, and tells him to report immediately to Bremerhaven to assume command. Maria says that he cannot leave immediately, as they are all singing in the Festival concert; and the Admiral agrees to wait. Papamichael, Stella. The Sound of Music: 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD (1965), BBC, review and history, November 23, 2005 Maria (Julie Andrews) tries her best to be a good nun, but her works at the convent just don’t seem to be enough to keep her in the superior nuns’ good graces. So when the Mother Superior sends her to function as the governess to some children in the hills, she looks forward to the change of environment. Once she arrives at her new home, Maria discovers she is the newest governess in a long line to try to control the children and that their father, Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) runs the place with a military strictness. Despite all that, Maria tries to teach the children to sing and dance for fun as well as appreciate the beauty in even the smallest of things around them. As she bonds with the children and they begin to become more civilized and well behaved, Maria finds herself drawn to Captain von Trapp and he seems to feel the same way about her. Maria now realizes that being a nun isn’t for her and she agrees to be the wife of von Trapp, which of course pleases the children also. But this paradise will soon come to an end, when the German rulers issue a statement that demands von Trapp return to his military position whether he wants to or not.
