Salzburg: Ticket to The Nutcracker at the Marionette Theater

7. Salzburg: Ticket to The Nutcracker at the Marionette Theater

An afternoon or evening spent enjoying The Salzburg Marionette Theatre’s interpretation of Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker is the perfect way to introduce children to the joys of ballet and classical music. With its fairy tale characters, dances and melodies that immediately imprint themselves on the memory, The Nutcracker has been capturing young hearts and minds all over the world for generations. In the centre of Tchaikovsky’s ballet is Clara. She is given a nutcracker for Christmas from her godfather Drosselmeyer. When she falls asleep, she dreams that the nutcracker is head of a gingerbread army fighting against the minions of the Mouse King. With Clara’s help, the nutcracker wins the battles, turns into a prince and takes her to the Land of Sweets where he tells its ruler, the Sugar Plum Fairy, how Clara helped him to defeat his enemy. In the end, Clara wakes up. The simplicity of The Nutcracker is exactly what makes it so appealing; an ideal choice for the Salzburg Marionette Theatre to bring to its stage. Seemingly drawn straight out of a child’s toy box, and without a complex plot to worry about, one is left to marvel at the ethereal qualities of Tchaikovsky’s music and the delightful dances that each group of puppets takes turns to perform. The Nutcracker has enjoyed enormous popularity since the late 1960s and is now performed by countless ballet companies, primarily during the Christmas season.

What people are saying about Salzburg

A nice meal in a restaurant that was not overcrowded and with beautiful views from the window by our table. The meal was well presented and unhurried. The service staff were possibly short staffed as service was strangely out of keeping with the event. Our bottle of white wine was left by a radiator without comment while the waitress addressed another table. She returned around 10 minutes later and seemed surprised that we had moved the wine and even opened it! The concert was fine for the occasion and an undemanding audience

Everything was wonderful - from the interior, which transports you to the time of Mozart, to his immortal and beautiful music. The dinner was excellent and elegant, as was the service. And the musicians and singers were wonderful! Thanks for the atmosphere you created and the wonderful mood!

Michael was awesome and very informative. He tailored the trip as we were progressing that helped based on the dwindling energy levels of my kids.

Just fabulous… completely immersed and transported back in time. A must see!

A wonderful experience! So skilful and entertaining. Thoroughly recommend!
