Marionetten Theater

Vienna


This small theatre in Schloss Schönbrunn puts on marionette performances of much-loved productions such as The Magic Flute and Aladdin, with longer performances for adults and shorter ones for families that delight kids young, old and in between. The puppet costumes are exceptionally ornate and eye-catching. Some shows are in German and others in English.
