A must see in the antique heart of Dresden. A beautiful concert hall which obviously looks stunning but also has amazing concerts and musicals. Just go there if you are in Dresden.

Before the pandemic this was a great cultural experience in Dresden. For students in winter 2020, they had a deal to pay a reduced cost to see 4 shows. You can pick up the tickets at the box office and decide the showtimes and seating. It is formal attire preferred based on the shows I saw back in 2019-2020. Not sure when these activities will resume. When it does, I recommend going early to see the opera house itself, it's beautiful. If you do get bundled tickets, switch it up -- try viewing the performances from the balcony, floor and different seating areas. It was a great way to really take in the venue.

A beautiful building on \Theaterplatz\ in the historic old town of Dresden. We did not visit it from the inside.

The building is considered to be a prime example of \Dresden Baroque\ architecture. It is situated on the Theatre Square in central Dresden on the bank of the Elbe River. On top of the portal there is a Panther quadriga with a statue of Dionysos. The interior was created by architects of the time, such as Johannes Schilling. Monuments on the portal depict artists, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare, Sophocles, Molière and Euripides. The building also features work by Ernst Rietschel and Ernst Julius Hähnel. In the pre-war years, the Semperoper premiered many of the works of Richard Strauss. In 1945, during the last months of World War II, the building was largely destroyed again, this time by the bombing of Dresden and subsequent firestorm, leaving only the exterior shell standing. Exactly 40 years later, on 13 February 1985, the opera's reconstruction was completed. It was rebuilt to be almost identical to its appearance before the war, but with the benefit of new stage machinery and an accompanying modern rear service building. The Semperoper reopened with the opera that was performed just before the building's destruction in 1945, Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz. When the Elbe flooded in 2002, the building suffered heavy water damage. With substantial help from around the world, it reopened in December of that year.
