A romantic magic play full of puppet magic
When the curtain rises on October 25, 2026, at the Bamberg Puppet Theater, a fairy-tale search begins among enchanted flowers, dark spells, and great love. Prince Rose Red and Princess Lily White brings a romantic magic play by Count von Pocci to the historic stage – a work that the author wrote in 1858 for the Munich Puppet Theater.
An adventurous journey through the world of magic fairy tales
Prince Rose Red sets out with his faithful squire Kasperl Larifari to find his beloved Princess Lily White. The evil wizard Negromantikus has transformed her, her maid, and Miss Emma into flowers. Between castle, magic realm, and dragon cave, an imaginative dramaturgy unfolds, where courage, friendship, and love face dark powers.
Count von Pocci and the art of puppet theater
The production connects to a traditional form of stage art. Pocci's material combines romantic fairy tale motives with comedic figures, poetic transformation, and classic redemption drama. Kasperl Larifari provides comedic contrasts, while the knight in a bear costume, the good fairy Lovingly, and the dragon Fire Breath enliven the stage with a wealth of fairy tale figures.
Historic theater atmosphere in Bamberg
The Bamberg Puppet Theater is located in the protected Staubschen House. The small theater hall creates an immediate closeness between the audience and puppet play. Set design, figure movement, lighting mood, and acoustics combine to create an intimate stage experience, where every movement of the puppets gains significance. The historical atmosphere makes the performance a meeting with a rare theater tradition.
