Saxon State Opera Dresden Reviews

The beautiful opera house as well as others around. Altstadt is simply the most beautiful area of Dresden.

A grand evening at the Opera etching Sleeping Beauty Ballet

The tour of the opera was very interesting and informative. The young woman was very pleasant and brought everything over very well. Husband loved to listen to her, there was always an answer to questions. It's a shame that Corona can't go any further.

Wonderful tour, price and performance at 11 euros p. P. completely justified

Very nice opera, great acoustics and an absolutely impressive building, but still reasonably priced. The free cloakroom was noticed positively. It is advisable to pre-order drinks or snacks for the break to save yourself the waiting time.

Semperoper - with evening "Swan Lake Ballet" and wonderful Tchaikovsky sounds ... absolutely impressive!

Superb opera in glorious opera house in a glorious city!

Beautiful and unique, thank you for this great evening.

Have a leadership participated. Was great..
Definitely worth seeing.

A fantastic opera building in the historic city of Dresden. The building is not freely accessible, but guided tours are offered. Otherwise always a great atmosphere at evening events - the good reputation I can confirm.

From the outside very imposing but unfortunately partly covered with scaffolding

A very nice building. It is definitely worth a trip with guidance

Well, here you can not not visit! At least on excursion.According to the acoustics of one of the best theaters! You can hear from any place perfectly! Take tickets to the second balconies and above, tk the price is less and the orchestra is visible! Tip: you can take standing places in weekdays (cost about 10 euros) but often lucky and you can sit perfectly. I'm not going to repertoire things, except that the interesting interpretation of the director will interest. Once or twice a year there are exclusive rare things and it's worth seeing. The main composition of the singers is small. The semper will be unprofitable for the guest singers. For families a good choice of children's operas and tickets are inexpensive. Visiting Dresden will be unforgivable not to visit the Opera. The totality of architecture and music and the history of this city is unique here.

Otello performance highly recommends. Lovely building.

Built again. durch.dieDeutscheDemokratischeRepublik.nicht. durch.das.gescheiterte.marodeBRD.Regime!

A fantastic place, great atmosphere, successful opera performance. Always happy

The building is majestic and demonstrates the ability and effort of the German people to rebuild their spaces and places, with determination and dedication they succeeded

Nice to look at from the outside. There are tours to visit the interior.

This opera house is always worth a visit! My third opera (Tosca), a dream!
The audience was great, no one got up right after the performance to get the train or the bus, everyone stayed until the last curtain fell !!!! The ambience of the house
is great in all areas! Staff super friendly, all in all thumbs up!

Great what was done in the rebuilding. Admirable, the perfection and beauty with which this great opera house was resurrected.

It was an unforgettable experience for us. You have to visit this opera.

Only seen from the outside ... Just a historic touristic beautiful building.

Beautiful and iconic opera house. Wish I could have taken the tour and seen an opera.

If you visit Dresden, please make sure to at least take a guided tour!

An opera visit for Dresdeners and tourists that is always worthwhile. Just to see the wonderful design of the opera house. It was a stroke of luck that the building destroyed in the bombing was rebuilt and not, like many other buildings in the GDR era, torn down.

Very impressive! Not real, but great craftsmanship!

Only seen from the outside, but that's a must when you're in Dresden.

Most beautiful opera house in which I was until now. Fantastic staging of la Boheme

the tour as well as visiting a opera are both worth every penny.

Very nice building ... great opera. We had a very good tour in the house. We would have liked to have heard the opera too, but unfortunately the performances will not take place until the day after tomorrow. Still, we will certainly come back. The whole city of Dresden is full of art and culture ... very beautiful and a must for art enthusiasts. Really great.

Zamper Opera: Also known as the Saxon State Opera of Dresden, it is one of the most famous in the world in Dresden, Germany.

The first opera was built in 1841, but it was destroyed by fire in 1869. In 1878, the son of the original architect of the building (Gottfried Zamper) was appointed to rebuild the building.

The new structure did not last long and was completely destroyed in the Allied bombing series at the end of World War II.

After the war many wanted to rebuild the building and in 1985 (40 years after it was demolished) the reconstruction of the building was completed and is now very similar to the building before its destruction in World War II.

I highly recommend visiting the building. To do so, register for a guided tour (available in several languages). We took the tour in English and a very happy guide to hear that we are from Israel and even knew a few words in Hebrew and the problem with playing Wagner's works in Israel.
The tour was interesting and very impressive.
Well worth a visit here and see an opera house as seen in the movies.

Simply worth seeing. You also have to take the tour, it's worth it.

Incredible productions of the most famous plays and novels. Unforgettable interior and acoustics!

Semperoper was a great experience for me, we had a guided tour.

Great construction and nice tour. Available in German and English the tour mostly insist on the opera reconstruction and acoustic performance.
The photo fee scam sadly also made is way to this refined house (3 ). As usually not announced in advance and in supplement of a 10 visit fee.

A beautiful house. Was there where it was renovated.

Very impressive. In any case, you should book a tour to see the interior.

A very nice opera house and also a great tour that I took part in :)

Magnificent building with history. Guided tours possible. Really worth seeing, especially from the inside.

I have seen here the "Journey to Reims" in the very modern, pro-European interpretation. It was great music, great voices, furious scenes ... Amusing and thought-provoking. I enjoyed the evening very much. Thank you

Is a highlight of Dresden and belongs to: you have to see it.

Great architecture and great view, v. a. in the evening

An Ooern visit in this beautiful house is always an experience.

The square in front of Semperoper is also a nice place to go for a walk, not far from the center, and the acoustics in the opera are outstandingly almost unique.

Always a fantastic event. The opera house is just fantastic. And the localities in the environment are only recommended.

Great house, wonderful voices. A staging of the Merry Widow, which certainly does not meet everyone's approval and was partly borderline for me. A pity for Lehar's beautiful operetta.

Wonderful opera house with sophisticated ventilation technology in the seat backs.

Awesome experience! We saw Figaro...I expected to fall asleep three times but only fell asleep twice! Not bad for a three and a half hour show.

Seriously, though, this opera house is an amazing sight to see. It was rebuilt to the original specs in 1977.

One of the landmarks of Dresden !!!!!!!
Beautiful opera and a visit are always worthwhile, was very impressed
"The ladies on the phone are very accommodating, helpful and friendly.
Definitely take the waiting time for a tour in buying it is very worth it !!! 5 stars for this wonderful tour !!!

Good program and very good acoustics. Nice ambience and moderate prices.

One of the most beautiful opera houses in Dresden and the world

A tour of the Semperoper is always worthwhile and a visit to a concert or opera etc. is also highly recommended

Impressive building with a lot of history and stories and great acoustics

Beautiful architecture. Must have seen, if you are in Dresden.
