Description:
Adults as well as children love musical favourites presented by Salzburg's own Marionette Theatre. Its repertoire pleases all ages, whether it be from Mozart, Shakespeare, Strauss, or the ever-popular musical,
The Sound of Music. Children especially love its production of Tchaikovsky's
Peter and the Wolf. Exquisitely beautiful handcrafted puppets play the parts, transporting audiences to a magical world of make-believe. Featuring popular highlights of operas, ballets and musicals, the shows are abridged from the full-length, each running about an hour, making them suitable for even younger children. The theatre itself is beautiful, featuring opulent stuccoes and frescoes, including its ceiling, which was restored in 2003. Daily shows change regularly; call or visit the website for current offerings.
