Established in 1913, the Salzburg Marionette Theatre is one of the oldest operating marionette theatres in the world. The theatrical institution hosts a repertoire of original performances and elaborate productions featuring a ‘wooden’ cast of over 500 characters supported by live actors and musicians. Performances are akin to full-scale operas featuring acting, dancing, and singing, and include famous operas such as Strauss’s Fledermaus, Mozart’s Magic Flute, and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre is listed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
