Semperoper

Semperoper, built in the mid-19th century by Gottfried Semper, is one of Germany's finest examples of Dresden Baroque and Neo-Renaissance architecture. Destroyed twice by fire in 1869 and 1945, the building you see today is an exact replica of the original. In its long history since 1841, the likes of Richard Wagner, Elisabeth Rethberg, Marie Wittich, Richard Strauss and Herbert Blomstedt have performed here. In fact, it served as a stage for Germany's finest composers, conductors, singers and ballet dancers of the 19th and 20th Centuries to connect with a discerning audience. Today, the opera house's repertoire includes ballets, comic opera acts, and classical opera in both German and Italian languages. Even if you are not a fan of dance or music, the eclectic architecture of the opera house, blending various European styles, piques the interest of most people.

Schauburg Cinema

Dresden's oldest cinema, Schauburg has three screens: one for mainstream movies, the others for children's films and art-house productions. Every February Schauburg hosts the International Festival of Short Films. An outdoor screen is set up in the summer. A large bar in the foyer, which looks rather like the bow of a ship, offers a selection of refreshments for you to enjoy in one of the many comfortable seating areas.

Hellerau - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste

Established in 1911 as Festspielhaus Hellerau, it has undergone radical transformations since its inception. A prime example of Dresden's extensive cultural history, it has been home to gymnasts, avant-garde artists, and decades of military occupation. Festspielhaus Hellerau is now known as Hellerau - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste and is a cultural powerhouse. From theatrical productions, concerts, dance shows to showcasing the best of contemporary art in the region, it is a dynamic space in every sense.
