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 fairy tales performed here such as the one showcased here: The Sound of Music - "A delightful surprise from start to finish" - The New York Times. Performed in English, and subtitled in various languages. The duration is 1 hour and 45 minutes.
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 empathize with the various characters in order to bring the marionettes alive on stage. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre has evolved its own technique, which is used as a model by many marionette theaters worldwide. The puppeteers’ training, which takes place exclusively in the theater itself, demands just as much time and perseverance as learning to play a musical instrument.

Absolutely AMAZING show! We were absolutely blown away by how magical the show was! At the end when the curtain went up we could see all the amazing people who operated the puppets in such a tiny area.

After touring Sound of Music sites for several days, we booked this show for our last night in Salzburg. Such a creative and artistic production. Delightful, humorous moments throughout the show. At the end, we got a chance to see the Puppeteers and watch them demonstrate how they actually operate the marionettes. What a talented group! Absolutely loved the show!
