The tour was fun and very informative. Unfortunately, it was the summer break, which is why maintenance work was taking place in the opera house (working platform in the orchestra pit etc.). But it wasn't a problem.

The tour was very well done. The last part in the auditorium was not so good, as there were 4 guided tours going on at the same time, which made it difficult to understand.

On the date I had booked, architect Dietrich Berger gave a guided tour of the Semper Opera House. As a group, we had the honor of being able to follow the explanations of a real contemporary witness - a special opportunity!!! Thank you very much!!! Barbara Haager from Enns/Upper Austria

Our young guide explained it clearly and well. I'm not including any photos because that would have cost extra. It's not necessary, it's just a hassle.
