or the first time in its history the Salzburg Marionette Theatre has
staged works by Richard Wagner. A compressed version of
The Ring
Walküren
of the Nibelung was premiered in co-operation with the Salzburg State
Theatre in March, 2012. The staged version guides the audience—in
less than two hours—through Wagner’s world of
The Ring and shows
the best-known scenes through the unrivalled puppetry of the Salzburg
Marionettes. In a very clear manner, the audience is led through Wagner’s
epos, a simple form that also makes it easily accessible for Wagner
beginners or a younger public. More than that, the performance gives
the Wagner enthusiast plenty of pleasure and musically-involved hours
listening to Sir Georg Solti’s acclaimed recordings of the operas. The
character of Loge will be the narrator of the evening and will guide the audience through the performance in a joyful dialogue with the dwarf

Der Wanderer Hans Hotter
We start on the banks of the River Rhine, following Alberich’s playful
game with the Rhinemaidens. We watch him make the ring—the ring

that grants its owner the right to rule the world—then meet the giants
Fafner and Fasolt and witness Alberich’s loss of the ring and the giants’ brutal fight for it. Finally we follow the gods to the newly-built Valhalla.
Götterdämmerung
Siegfried
Next we see Siegfried pull the sword from the oak, take a wild ride
Brünnhilde
with the Valkyries and witness Wotan’s tender farewell to his beloved
Twenty years later we meet Siegfried again; we watch him forge the new
sword, kill the dragon, take the ring and awake sleeping Brünnhilde in the fire-ring.
We see Siegfried give the ring to his love Brünnhilde for safekeeping; we see trickery and subterfuge resulting in the ring being again stolen by Siegfried. Hagen, in search of the ring, kills Siegfried, using information ill gotten from the tricked Brünnhilde. She redeems herself by riding into Siegfried’s funeral pyre, honoring their love. Finally, we see the Rhine flood and the Rhinemaidens receiving back the ring.

But the von Trapps’ married life is quickly disrupted by Nazi Germany’s annexation of Austria. They return from their honeymoon to find a telegram summoning the Captain to serve in the navy of the Third Reich. But the Captain is a patriot, passionate about the fulfilling life that Austria has always offered its citizens.
The family has become well known as an amateur singing group, and at the instigation of a family friend, Max Detweiler, the Trapps make a final appearance at the Salzburg Festival. At the end of the performance they manage to escape to Nonnberg Abbey, and from there they cross the mountains on foot to Switzerland.
