National Marionette Theatre, Prague

If puppetry piques your interest, prepare to be enchanted by the National Marionette Theatre, conveniently located just a stone's throw away from the Old Town Square. Specializing mainly in performances based on Mozart's compositions, their rendition of "Don Giovanni" stands out as a crowd favorite.

The theater itself is intimate, accommodating around 100 guests on wooden seats that can be adjusted for younger audiences with a simple crank mechanism. The life-sized marionettes grace a richly adorned stage, where the unfolding tales captivate through predominantly visual storytelling over the course of a two-hour performance.

Expect a traditional touch with the marionettes harking back to the 18th century, complete with visible strings and puppeteers occasionally visible in the background. Yet, far from detracting, this only adds to the magical allure of the show. For those seeking a lighter fare, there's even a whimsical adaptation of the Beatles' classic film "Yellow Submarine" to enjoy.
