“A delightful surprise from start to finish” New York Times

Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, My Favourite Things…all the lovely tunes and warm-hearted lyrics from The Sound of Music touch our hearts and make us smile. In this unique production, the stringed “cast” of the Salzburg Marionette Theatre bring the von Trapp family to new life!

Perhaps because the marionettes also hail from the city where The Sound of Music takes place, they somehow seem to have a special affinity with this musical, and deliver a level of charm and enchantment that is utterly delightful. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing along with the marionettes who can dance without the limits of gravity! But isn’t it a bit ridiculous to applaud a marionette? Not at all. It’s the most natural thing in the world. Maybe they’ll even blush a little!
