Marionettenbühnen#

Marionette Theatres. Having possibly originated in Asia, marionette theatres became popular in Europe during the Middle Ages. In the Baroque era marionette plays constituted a much loved form of popular theatre (by then a typically Austrian puppet, the "Kasperl" had been created), whereas they mainly served to entertain the noble society in the 18th century. Famous 20th -century Austrian theatres of this kind are the Salzburg Marionette Theatre (founded by the sculptor A. Aicher in 1913, cycles of Mozart and Gluck operas), as well as the "Figurenspiegel" ( Puppet Theatre) of R. Teschner.
