In the musical the sound of music does Louisa have any speaking parts?

Louisa is one of the children and plays tricks on Maria. She has a pretty decent role and she sings with the other characters. Brigitte is a slightly bigger role, though. So since Brigitta has lines, Louisa does too. In other words, Louisa is a good part for any girl around the age of thirteen and is starting to act because Louisa has lines, but not too many. Hope I helped!

Did the little girl die after the sound of music?

It is not clear from your query if you meant an actress or as part of the story. There were several female children in S.O.M. Nobody ( among lead characters) actually died in the play or the film- the Father was recalled by the Navy department for active duty- In real life he was a Submarine officer- a specially trained man vital for the Kriegsmarine. The drama introduced the subject matter of wartime separation angst- here in a Family, not a boyfriend-girlfriend setting, which was unusual for the time. S.O.M. was blazing up the stages at the time of the Berlin Crisis in the Cold War, so an antiwar theme was unusual-also from the Axis side. Closest Yank paralell was Glenn Miller- who went MIA and presumed dead in ETO. Killing off a little girl in a musical (comedy) that had little comedy to begin with- well it just was not done! SOM did develope a thougtful anti-war message without gunplay, dead bodies, or air-raid sirens, etc.

What was Germany called in the sound of music besides Germany?

I think Germany was always referred to as Germany but the Nazi movement was called The Third Reich and the taking over of Austria was the Aunchluss.

What year is the The Sound of Music supposed to be in?

I am not positive but I believe it is supposed to be during the second world war. I saw the movie when I was little like 35 years ago and if memory serves me it is WWII. It takes place in Europe when England started fighting Germany yes I believe that was the reason the nanny, Julie Andrews, was hired. The dad had to go to war.

Improved Answer: Good grief! It was 1938, the year that the Anschlus took place, which is discussed in the film. For those not paying attention, this was when Nazi Germany took over Austria to "re-unite" the German lands. Austria had been a separate country. Hence all the boo-hoo by Captain Von Trapp about being Austrian. Were you watching the film??? Did you pay attention at school? If you saw it 35 years ago, you must have been born in about 1970. So surely you know a little more about the period leading up to the World War II?

Surely?

And by the way, the question should be "In what year was The sound of Music supposed to be?" The questionner's grammar rather suits the original respondent's lack of knowledge, methinks!
