The Semper Opera in Dresden

Semper Opera Dresden

05/2008 The picture shows the Semper Opera in Dresden. Construction started in April 1871 on Gottfried Semper's second Royal Court Theatre. The project was directed by Gottfried Semper's son Manfred. The new building was opened in 1878 with Weber's Jubelouvert re and Goethe's Iphigenie auf Tauris. If you have the time, you should definitely go and see one of the performances. The opera is a gem, and not just from the outside. We saw Otelo. If you don't have that much time, you can also book one of the guided tours. The picture shows the Semper Opera in Dresden.
