September 2007 - South KoreaThe ensemble of MARIONETTENTHEATER SCHLOSS SCHÖNBRUNN presented Austria’s most famous composers W. A. Mozart and Johann Strauss Son at the Opera Festival 2007 in Daegu... and enchanted the audience at two sold out shows.
The shows took place on the 7th and 8th of September in Daegu, the capital of South Korea. There was a lot of laughter in the audience when the theatre performed „Johann Strauss and the Danubemaid“, written and directed by Gerhard Tötschinger, because the show was recorded and additionally given subtitles in korean language. The love of music of the korean audience was especially felt when the marionettes performed „A Little Nightmusic“ as a ballet.

January 2007 - CyprusMozart and the marionettes on a trip to CyprusThe marionettes of Schönbrunn were given a warm welcome when they performed in Cyprus from January the 23rd to January 27th
About 2000 people in Larnaka, Limassol and Nicosia were taken into the magic realm of Mozart’s opera „The Magic Flute“ by the marionettes.
Performing in such big theatres like in Nicosia in front of an audience of 800 people is always a very special experience for the ensemble. It’s amazing how the marionettes „grow“ in ones mind and thus enchant people even further away from the stage.
