“I thought she was just wonderful. She sang it so well in the style of the piece and she didn’t add any modern rock sounds. She did it straight and she has a lovely voice,” he told Deadline.
Lady Gaga belted out a medley of songs to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music. After the performance, Maria herself, Julie Andrews, appeared onstage to give her a congratulatory hug and thanks.
When asked why Christopher wasn’t present at the Oscars, he said: “I didn’t go to the Oscars because first of all I couldn’t, and the second thing, it was a tribute to her. I would’ve looked stupid being there and not doing anything.”
In The Sound of Music, Christopher plays Captain Von Trapp, a widowed Navy captain left with 7 children to care for. Governess Maria helped him bond with his children and love music again. – Rappler.com
