Bamberger Marionettentheater

In the location's words:

Founded in Bamberg in 1986, the puppet theater is one of the younger institutions compared to other cultural institutions in the city. Nevertheless, it has earned an excellent reputation throughout the German-speaking world. The historic stage from the first half of the 19th century and the traditional puppetry of this era contribute significantly to the cultural highlights of the World Heritage City.

In order to meet this high standard, the repertoire includes classical operas such as "The Magic Flute", "The Flying Dutchman" and "Der Freischütz" as well as popular plays such as "Doctor Johannes Faust" and "Don Juan". These are largely performed in their original form, with only minor adaptations, rather than in modern interpretations.

In the chivalric drama "Das Käthchen von Heilbronn", the now rare art of paper theater, which had its heyday in the Biedermeier period, is also cultivated.
