The Virgin Mary was possibly one of the earliest puppets used. They called it Little Mary. Or in French, Marionette. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre still does full-length marionette operas, but they're popular in Berlin and also Prague where the National Marionette Theatre does a performance of Mozart's Don Giovanni, which was composed in the heart of the city. The current master of marionettes in Prague is Miroslav Trejtnar.
