We had wanted to see the Semper Opera from the inside for a long time. We had come very early to see the opera in peace. To be honest, the house looks bigger and more grand on television. We liked the atmosphere anyway.

The 9th symphony concert by the Saxon State Orchestra left us with a mixed impression: We had our difficulties with Luciano Berio's Sinfonia , everything sounded very experimental and often disharmonious.
In contrast, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 was a delight for all the senses!
