Such an entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Quite unique and a dying art. The puppeteers are very skilled and talented. Such a unique experience, totally different than the usual play, musical or concert. As middle aged adults, felt like a kid again. Curtain call was amazing, just as good as the actual performance. The curtain was raised so you could applaud the actual puppeteers. In addition, they performed, giving you the opportunity to see the behind the scenes look at how the puppets work. The Sound of Music is in English, however there are subtitles on the side walls with several different languages. There is not a subtitle for everything though. It is a smaller venue, so you may want to book your tickets in advance. Although the stage is small, we did not have any problems viewing the show sitting midway back. There was an intermission. During intermission, drinks and snacks were available to purchase. The theater was decorated with all sorts of puppet

Auch meine Frau konnte an der Vorstellung teilmehmen, obwohl sie nur sehr schwer über Stiegen gehen kann (sie wurde vom Personal im Sessel getragen - wie einst der Kaiser). Vielen Dank dafür; allein das war eine eigene Vorstellung, und die Zauberflöte danach war quasi der (ausgezeichnete) Drüberstreuer.

We went to this as average SOM fans thinking it would be a nice way to give the kids something they'd enjoy on our trip. Where we thought this would just be an interesting experience, this was well worth it! The show is truly amazing to realize that those are puppets and people are up top making them work. The music is recorded, but that's not the point of this - its the puppets. Just a wonderful show!

As it was our third visit to Salzburg, we really didn’t want to miss out on experiencing this UNESCO World Heritage event again. Though Motzart’s Magic Flute is the quintessential choice, as big Sound of Music fans, we thought this would be a fun and fresh take on the classic. We were blown away by how well and creatively the screen came to stage. The marionettes were amazing and the sets were beautiful but what really stole the show was the final act, when they raise the curtain just a bit higher and show the mastery behind the marionettes. My 10 and 13 year olds loved it. It truly is a spectacular, Salzburgian experience.

I saw The Sound Of Music and it was a wonderful show. Such a rare experience to see a full marionette performance by a very talented group of performers in a lovely old theatre.
