It's not every day we host a puppet theatre at the Philharmonie!

A soldier, a devil, and a magic violin. Visual artist Georg Baselitz's puppet creations will enchant you in this reenactment of a Russian folktale, which speaks to all of us with its questions of wealth and morality. Igor Stravinsky's musical score was written for a travelling theatre, so expect captivating music, storytelling and drama!


A co-production of the Salzburg Marionette Theatre with the Salzburg Festival, realised with the kind support of Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac
The 2026 tour is supported by fürst developments, Salzburg.
