The Dresden Semperoper is not only an architectural monument, it is above all a venue and provides the festive setting for performances by the opera, Staatskapelle ballet and Junge Szene. At the same time, it has become a symbol of this city and the epitome of important operatic art worldwide.

The history of opera in Dresden goes back to the opening of the first opera house in 1667. Dresden rose to become a European opera metropolis under the court conductor Johann Adolph Hasse.
