The Salzburg Marionette Theatre has a tradition of more than 100 years in Salzburg, and who doesn’t like it? Adults, young people and kids always enjoy those presentations and, of course, the content of the stories make all the difference!
The Magic Flute presentation, that is taking place in Salzburg since 4th of May, tells the following story: “In Mozart’s opera the Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from captivity under the high priest Sarastro. Instead, he learns the high ideals of Sarastro's community and seeks to join it. Tamino and Pamina undergo severe trials of initiation, which end in triumph, with the Queen and her cohorts vanquished. The earthy Papageno, who accompanies Tamino on his quest, fails the trials completely but is rewarded anyway with the hand of his ideal female companion Papagena” - Salzburg.info.
