Such an entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Quite unique and a dying art. The puppeteers are very skilled and talented. Such a unique experience, totally different than the usual play, musical or concert. As middle aged adults, felt like a kid again.
Curtain call was amazing, just as good as the actual performance. The curtain was raised so you could applaud the actual puppeteers. In addition, they performed, giving you the opportunity to see the behind the scenes look at how the puppets work.
The Sound of Music is in English, however there are subtitles on the side walls with several different languages. There is not a subtitle for everything though.
It is a smaller venue, so you may want to book your tickets in advance. Although the stage is small, we did not have any problems viewing the show sitting midway back.
There was an intermission. During intermission, drinks and snacks were available to purchase.
The theater was decorated with all sorts of puppets and costumes. It was interesting to look at all the history of the theater. They even have a puppet you can try out yourself.
Wonderful, unique experience! Dying art that needs to be appreciated! Fun for all ages! Highly recommend!

I was fortunate enough that on my two day trip to Salzburg 'The Sound of Music' was playing on one of the evenings. From start to finish the show was absolutely wonderful and the skill involved was amazing with so many puppets on the stage at once.
The show is in English with subtitles in other languages that are put on the wall which give a description of what is happening in each scene. I was seated in Row 2 which gave a perfect view of the stage, however if you need to see the subtitles then you would need to sit further back.
This is a wonderful experience that I would recommend to any Sound of Music fan whilst in Salzburg.

An excellent show. The marionettes are amazing. Initially, you notice the strings, but after a few minutes you don’t see them. The sound is good and the scenery and props are also excellent. It’s sung in English, but there is translation in several languages projected on the side walls.
I am hoping to visit again next year.

We attended an evening performance. Frankly my wife is the "Sound of Music" fan so I was humoring her. To my surprise, this was very entertaining and I was awed by the skill of the puppeteers. It's spoken in English with subtitles in various languages. It's a very nice theater with friendly staff. Be ready with your camera as the end when the artists are revealed...

As I had never seen the film but had seen the sights it was only fitting my last night in Salzburg should be spent watching the Sound of Music.
The theatre is small and my ticket was row 12, I would say pay a little more to get closer.
I was totally absorbed in the story, the puppeteers are just brilliant.
Perfect end to my trip.

Amazing! One mark off only because a family brought in their baby and they stayed throughout the first half of the performance even while it cried! Very inconsiderate! They must have been asked to leave at half time as we had a blissful 2nd half.
Perhaps the staff could stop them from entering next time?

We are happy, blueybrit, that you enjoyed the performance. As it is very rare that parents enter with babies and if, they are very considerate and leave the performance when the baby gets loud. We apologize for the inconviniences.

We went to this as average SOM fans thinking it would be a nice way to give the kids something they'd enjoy on our trip. Where we thought this would just be an interesting experience, this was well worth it! The show is truly amazing to realize that those are puppets and people are up top making them work. The music is recorded, but that's not the point of this - its the puppets. Just a wonderful show!

I saw The Sound Of Music and it was a wonderful show. Such a rare experience to see a full marionette performance by a very talented group of performers in a lovely old theatre.

As it was our third visit to Salzburg, we really didn’t want to miss out on experiencing this UNESCO World Heritage event again. Though Motzart’s Magic Flute is the quintessential choice, as big Sound of Music fans, we thought this would be a fun and fresh take on the classic. We were blown away by how well and creatively the screen came to stage. The marionettes were amazing and the sets were beautiful but what really stole the show was the final act, when they raise the curtain just a bit higher and show the mastery behind the marionettes. My 10 and 13 year olds loved it. It truly is a spectacular, Salzburgian experience.

Is it general admission or are seats assigned ? How do we get a seat assignment when booking thru trip advisor?

I’m sorry, I genuinely can’t recall if it was assigned or GA but it was definitely not crowded when we went in August and we did have very good seats (which were either through our purchase on TA or by luck of a small audience). Enjoy!
