Tips for Visiting Düsseldorfer Marionetten-Theater #

  • Book weekend performances in advance; the theatre often seats fewer than 150 and sells out for holiday programming.
  • Ask at the box office for seats close to the stage: this is a puppetry house where proximity matters - the strings and woodcraft are the show.
  • If language is a concern, seek family matinees or productions described as visual or musical - these play to sight as much as speech.
