The Nuns' Chorus is an extract from the operetta Casanova by Johann Strauss. Seducteur 'par excellence', soldier, spy, diplomat, writer and adventurer Giacomo Casanova lived in Venice during the 18th century and is known above all for his conquests of women. Worried at the inquiries being made by certain Venetien husbands, he flees the town and we find him in a Bohemian castle where he has been welcomed by the Duke of Waldstein who suggests he should make an inventory of the vast library there. However, our hero is fascinated by his own written works with which he attempts to lure the serving-girl Laura Brock. In this aria and dialogue with the nuns, the soprano cornet tells of the juxtaposition between the devout (chorale) and the attempted seductions of Casanova (waltz).

What do the nuns think about Maria in The Sound of Music?
At the beginning, the nuns think of Maria as a nuisance. They sing a song called "Maria" in which they complain about different things she does, including climbing a tree, ripping her dress, wearing curlers under her habit, singing when she shouldn't be, and being late to everything. They believe she is a nice girl, but that she isn't made out to be a nun. However, they do help her later on by housing her when she runs away, allowing her to get married at the abbey, and hiding her family from the Nazis.
