Annette Dasch's famous singing of Gretel in "Hansel and Gretel" - Salzburg Marionette Theater. -- Marionettes also played a major role in "The Lonely Shepherd" in "The Sound of Music," and there is a marionette theater on the east side of the Mozarteum in Salzburg. The theater opened in 1913 with a puppet show of Mozart's "Bastian and Bastienne," created by sculptor Anton Eicher. Today, the theater continues to be preserved by the descendants of Anton Eicher and presents highly artistic puppet theater performances. Conductor Schuller is a young opera conductor from Berlin. He studied under Sebastian Weigle and Rolf Reuter, and is the conductor of "In Bocca al Lupo" (Eaten by Wolves! =Go for it! ) and Da Ponte Opera with Annette Dasch. The highlight of this DVD is that you can hear Annette Dash's Gretel, who is very active all over the world nowadays. It is a pity that we cannot see her beautiful smile, which is always the face of an expressionless doll...
