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.
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.

Boasting a century-long legacy, the Salzburg Marionette Theater has mesmerized both young and old audiences around the globe. It entered the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016, affirming the marionette performance technique that makes it a cultural asset deserving conservation as the ‘highest evolved puppet and character performance theater.’ In its one-of-a-kind baroque theatre, it features a range of operas such as Mozart’s Magic Flute, alongside classics like The Sound of Music from Salzburg, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker ballet, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Little Prince by Saint-Exupéry. Young audiences will certainly enjoy Peter and the Wolf or Rumpelstiltskin.
