Info

The Salzburg Marionette Theatre of Salzburg, Austria In March, the Center hosted the world-renowned Salzburg Marionette Theatre of Salzburg, Austria, as part of the 25 th Anniversary Celebration. The company performed four of their signature pieces, The Barber of Seville, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Magic Flute and Peter and the Wolf. These performances were presented by The Coca-Cola Company in honor of Betty Stephens and her late husband Preston Stephens, longtime supporters of the Center for Puppetry Arts, and for Mr. Stephens’ many years of service to The Coca-Cola Company. After each of the performances, the proscenium was removed and the puppeteers demonstrated their intricate technique in full view of the audience by doing a scene from the performance. A variety of special events were part of the festivities. The Opening Night Party honored Betty Stephens and The Coca-Cola Company. Guests enjoyed champagne, coffee and desserts. Gretl Aicher, artistic director, puppeteer and granddaughter of the founder of the Salzburg Marionette Theatre, led a special backstage tour and a discussion on the history of the company. Carter Joseph, opera aficionado and co-founder of The Atlanta Opera’s Opera 101 series, led a fun and informational introduction to the opera. Founded in 1913, the Theater continues to awe audiences around the globe with its exquisite string puppets, opulent scenery, wondrous arias and oldworld charm. The Center was the sole venue in the Southeast during the Salzburg Marionette Theatre’s 2004 U.S. tour.
