Marionette Theater Schönbrunn Palace is a unique, original puppet theatre located directly at the Schönbrunn Palace that cultivates the Viennese tradition of artistic play with precious, hand-made marionettes. At the Imperial Palace, the tradition of telling stories with puppets dates back 250 years.
Arguably, Marionette Theater Schönbrunn Palace is one of the top things to do with children in Vienna because it´s fun, unique, and unforgettable.
The theatre plays classical music operas such as “The Magic Flute” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or “The Wedding of Figaro” just as you would experience at an Opera House – except for here, the operas are presented by traditional puppets. The puppets, rigorously hand-crafted, are made of Swiss pine and lime wood and wrapped in silk and lace. Decorations and lighting are fantastic as well – constantly changing and moving, thus adding dynamics and excitement to the performance.
For children, special performances are available such as “The Magic Flute for Children” and musicals such as “Aladdin” and “Sisi’s Secret”. They are the same performance pieces as the classic ones designed for an adult audience, but the children´s versions are shorter. Typically, they only take about 70 minutes to keep small children focused and amused.
Children’s performances are very popular with families but also with kindergartens and schools. Also popular are kids’ birthday parties at the Marionette Theater.
Wheelchair spaces are available in the first row. There is also a wheelchair accessible restroom but no elevator.
It´s a good idea to combine the visit to the Marionette Theater Schönbrunn Palace with other family activities at Schönbrunn, such as a walk in Schönbrunn Palace Gardens, watching the exciting Apple Strudel Show, visiting the famous Schönbrunn Zoo or the fantastic Labyrinthikon playground.
