We went to Salzburg as we LOVE the Sound of Music. It was an 18th birthday surprise for my daughter. The marionette theatre turned out to be the highlight of our trip! Amazing
Memorable Experience!

A truly memorable experience! The skill of the puppeteers is amazing and the show is so well produced. One of our Salzburg highlights for sure.

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.

Thank you, Frank!
What a Delightful Show!
NomadLass, May 2024
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!

Thank you so much!
Itinerary
Salzburg Marionette Theater
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.
Shows are subject to seasonality and won't all be available at one time. Be sure to check back to see what new shows will be playing next.
