Salzburg Marionette Theatre, Marionette theatre in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria
The Salzburg Marionette Theatre presents performances with puppets controlled by twelve strings, operated by puppeteers positioned on elevated platforms above the stage.
Founded in 1913 as the Aicher Family Theatre, the institution received the Gold Medal at the 1937 Paris World's Fair for its artistic excellence.
The theatre performs full operas, including Mozart's Magic Flute and Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, with a collection of 500 wooden marionettes in detailed costumes.
Located in a former ballroom of the Mirabell Hotel, the theatre welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday during morning hours and evening performances.
Each marionette requires precise manipulation through an intricate system of strings to execute complex movements during musical and theatrical productions.
