Syracuse: Sicilian Puppet Show with a Behind-the-Scenes Visit

Absolutely wonderful! We had our young son with us, and he enjoyed it all so much, as did we all. The behind-the-scenes tour was so much fun, and the show itself was engaging and fascinating. We were able to fully enjoy it in Italian even as English-speakers, thanks to the performers being so very good. A must-see.

很有意思，很精美的艺术表演。

Ottimo spettacolo.

Very charming and Paolo was informative about the history and workings of puppetry. The show was dazzling!

Interessante

I highly recommend getting the behind the scene visit. It was fascinating to see what all is involved with making the show and how the puppets work. I loved this event

It was amazing to see how stage is built, puppets are made and how they work, and learn of the history of this wonderful art. But be forewarned, this is not for children. The play is about war with much violence. Fabuloso!

Loved the backstage access. Had a go at using the puppets, which was challenging but so fun. Highly recommend

Wij mochten achter de schermen kijken van het theater. Wij hebben alle poppen gezien en mochten ook zelf proberen het was om zo'n pop te bedienen. Al met al erg de moeite waard.

La mise en scène et la beauté des marionnettes.

La visite des coulisses

It was absolutely lovely, when i thought of a puppet show i had to think of something for kids, but man was i wrong! The plot was so entertaining and the puppets moved in such a human way that i was mesmerised. A great experience.

Very nice guide and backstage tour, followed by a performance in italian traditional style. We liked the possibility to move the beautiful puppets for our own !!!

The tour really made our experience - my children (and the parents!) loved learning about the puppets, handling them, and understanding a bit of the history. It was a highlight of our trip!

bit of miis communication about time of back stage tour but not a big problem

Spettacolo carino e ben fatto. Peccato che é durato poco.

We understood when we booked that it would be in English. Whilst we were given a synopsis in English at the beginning, we really lost our way. A written synopsis would have been helpful. That being said, we thought the puppeteers were excellent and we enjoyed the performance. What happened to the tour that should have followed?
