On Tour

As guests on world stages

Besides giving performances at home, the Salzburg marionettes are often invited to perform in other theatres, or undertake sometimes lengthy tours in far-off lands and on other continents. The Marionette Theatre has travelled through North and Central America, and as far as Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Cuba. It has given guest performances in China, Japan and Taiwan, and participated in major events such as the World Fair in Brussels. The delicate puppets have earned accolades from crowned heads and distinguished visitors for their presentations of a wide repertoire in major European cities such as Paris, Rome, London and Berlin.
