We loved the Magic Flute performed by the Salzurg Marionette Theatre. The theatre was wonderful, centrally located, and the performance was superb

Let's face it - there are not that many marionette theatres in the world and this is one of the more historic. We went to see 'The Sound of Music' mostly because it was on when we were free to go (not being a fan of that particular musical). An interesting point is that The Sound of Music (SOM) is... More

Venue and performance were amazing. Did not expect an operatic play. Thought it would be more of a children's performance. Some families who took young children left early, perhaps having expected a more family oriented performance. It was too adult ('with opera) for young ones I believe.

I was surprised how much I liked this attraction.

This is a great place for children. However, it is interesting for adults to see a more traditional form of entertainment. There are regular performances, presumably with quite elaborate sets.

The actions of the puppets are so life-like that you do actually forget that they are puppets. There are occasional subtitles which are very helpful. It's a wonderful evening out for all ages - great for children to be introduced to opera and musicals, and for us adults it appeals to the inner child! I would really recommend this as... More
