Staatsoper Dresden

The Semperoper is considered one of the most beautiful theaters in the world, and at the same time it is associated with the world-wide reputation for high-quality artistic achievements, which is borne by the ensemble as well as by numerous international guests. This is where the Saxon State Orchestra Dresden plays, one of the most traditional orchestras in the world for over 470 years. The Saxon State Opera Choir was founded in 1817 by Carl Maria von Weber. Opera history was written here with numerous premieres such as Richard Wagner's "Rienzi", "The Flying Dutchman" and "Tannhäuser".
