Although the character of Mother Abbess (played by Peggy Wood) appears to sing the song, the real singer is actually Marjorie McKay. The substitute was made due to the fact that Wood's singing voice could not reach the high notes.

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.
