Salzburg Marionette Theatre
The Salzburg Marionette Theatre has traveled the world many times over with its wooden-faced puppets in tow. The Austrian company recently celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013, making it one of the oldest continuing marionette troupes in the world. Based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the marionettes’ version of The Sound of Music follows the classic tale set in its hometown. While performances originally featured live voice actors and musicians, they now use recorded soundtracks, allowing puppeteers to focus on delivering lifelike movements from behind the scenes. Removing the human element draws attention to the musical score, tailored costumes and set design.
