I came to see The Sound of Music show. It was breathtaking. The skill of the puppeteers was exceptional, bringing the story to life in new, creative ways. The show is reasonably priced, and the theatre itself is beautiful. The puppets and scenery are works of art in themselves. It was an amazing experience.

We saw The Magic Flute. The puppets were beautifully made and the performance was very charming. Our view was not so good because of taller people in front of me. There were some subtitles shown to help explain the story, but a bit more would have been helpful.

Love the way it forms part of a historical landmark. Small museum, but packed with marionettes. Some interactive activities to play with included. Overall fun for young and old.

4 stars because it's hard to see in the seats. My husband couldn't see at all and went home because of it. I had to bob and sit high in my seat to see. The stage should be higher. The puppets and puppeteers were pure magic! It's a shame you can't really see it due to the seating design.

Visited on a Sunday to see a performance of Der Alte Baum (The Old Tree). This beautifully performed show played to a full house with live music from the orchestra and incredibly talented opera singers. Highly recommended.

A wonderful unique experience that you won't be able to find anywhere else in the world. These artists are incredibly talented and are able to bring the puppets to life! The best part is that their work can be translated to any language and bring out the inner child in all of us. Be sure to go if you have the chance! It's not that expensive. Tickets range from 20-40 euros

WOW, I saw the Sound of Music show and was totally blown away by the artistry and skill of the puppeteering. No spoilers here but they also incorporated a few human-puppet interactions that were super cool. Comfortable seats (including pillows for the little ones to prop them up higher), and a bar for drinks during intermission, plus a few museum-like displays in the lobby (in German). I think this particular show is especially fun to see if you have watched the Sound of Music film before, since you can see how they transformed the musical numbers into something puppet-friendly.
