Review of Saxon State Opera Dresden

My rating relates to a GUIDED TOUR and NOT a piece...

My rating relates to a GUIDED TOUR and NOT a piece shown:

I have NEVER seen anyone build a tour so carelessly, even though it can lead through such an exciting, historic and visually clear building. The 45-minute tour overshadowed total demotivation. The simplest questions were either not answered at all or - clearly - incorrectly.

11 euros would be okay for the tour. At the cloakroom another 3 euros as a "photo license" are outrageous! And then at the end everyone takes pictures with their cell phones - even those without a visible sticker. And the tour guide? Accept it, say nothing. Then I feel that the person who paid has really been hugged. Jackets are given without numbers and after the tour all are simply laid out on the counter - self-service ("Let's see which jacket I like best here"?).

Guided tours sometimes every 15 minutes - a money printing machine. Tourist handling as it is worse and above all loveless.
