Salzburg Marionette Theater: ‘The Toy Box’

Who knows what all those playthings are up to when left to their own devices? In Debussy’s children’s ballet, “The Toy Box,” romantic intrigue and even war are not beyond the possibilities. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Salzburg Marionette Theater will perform the story — it centers on a love triangle involving Pulcinella, a ballerina doll and a toy soldier — with the score played live by the pianist Orion Weiss. The abridged matinee performances are especially for young audiences; the evening program will feature other musical pieces.
