Departure Point
Salzburg Marionette Theater, Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg Marionette Theater, Salzburg, Austria In this unique baroque audience hall with 350 seats there have been operas, musicals, plays and fairytales that have occurred here such as:
The Magic Flute - Probably Mozart's best known opera, staged here for young and old in a short version. In German, subtitled in various languages. Duration: 1-hour.
The Salzburg Marionette Theatre employs 12 puppeteers, trained in a wide variety of trades and professions. Qualities common to all of them are musicality, manual skill, and the ability to emphathise with the various characters in order to bring alive the marionettes on the stage. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre has evolved its own technique, which is used as a model by many marionette theatres worldwide. The puppeteers’ training, which takes place exclusively in the theatre itself, demands just as much time and perseverance as learning to play a musical instrument.

El trabajo con las marionetas es espectacular. Nos gustó mucho todos, tanto que repetimos al día siguiente con Los cuentos de Hoffman y salimos igualmente encantados.
