The Semperoper is an opera house designed by Gottfried Semper, from which the building takes its name. The building stands prominently on Theatreplatz and dominates the square. It's built in a mix of Baroque, Renaissance and Neoclassical. The latter two styles being visually more prominent on the exterior, especially the Corinthian columns, supporting the pediment and unusually for something that is not a triumphal arch, topped with a Quadriga. Although the Quadriga is ridden by Dionysius and pulled by panthers.
The opera house is.one.of the landmarks of Dresden and you'll be hard pushed to miss it. It's worth seeing.
