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. For 60 years, this piece has been
put on stage in a steady production and is one of the highlights of
the Marionette Theatre. In German language with sidelines in various
languages. duration: 2 hours The Salzburg Marionette Theatre is a
„big“ theatre with „small“ actors. For more than 100 years,
the puppets have enchanted grown-ups and children alike. The visitors
are taken to a magical world of opera, fairy tale, or musical.
