The Nutcraker - simply cracking - I'm so glad I found this place online. As luck would have it they were doing a performance of Der Nussknacker the night I arrived in Salzburg and surprisingly they posted my ticket to me in the UK. The Marionetten Theatre is very easy to find with lots of memorabelia to look at though I pretty much headed straight in to me seat. The performance was basically miraculous - how do they do it!! There was a transalation of the story projected on the wall at the start of each half, and then you watch each scene unfold, the movement of the puppets is so realistic. So many ovations at the end and when the top curtain goes up you get to see the amazing puppeteers. I would say definitely go and see a performance - you wont regret it.

Amazing unique experience! - We took our three teenagers to the Nutcracker at the Marionette Theatre. We didn’t know what to expect but the show was fabulous! The puppeteers are so skilful and it felt like the puppets really came to life. Definitely recommend.
