Semperoper (Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden) Concerts 2025

The Opera building is also worth a visit because of it rich decorative and numerous architectural merits. It's better to book a tour (with guide only) in advance, especially if you do not speak German. Strongly recommend.

This opera house is like concentrated essence of Dresden. There's endless gilt and ceiling paintings and they have a big tassel budget. Operas have surtitles in German and English, the seats are comfortable and sightlines are good. The only slight criticism is that they don't do halftime ice-cream. I feel a little sugar rush is what you need in the interval instead of booze.

Gorgeous building! Visiting here is a must if you are in Dresden. I am sure it would be amazing to see a show here. I recommend going on a guided tour at night. The only disappointing thing is the tour is advertised as "Behind the curtains" but you do not go backstage and cannot even see the stage due to a huge fire-safety door.

My first time in opera and experience was amazing. The building itself is a work of art, the acoustic was extremely good the seats comfortable the ladies at the gardarobe were kind and helpful. Even though we were late they let us in on se second act and we watched from a television the first part of the play

Amazing building, restored to its former glory after WWII. You have to book a tour, some are in English but there is not an English tour everyday. The cost was €14 (Feb 24), you can book online.
