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

Great!!! The "lady" at the souvenir store was unable to tell me where the toilets were, but the guided tour (18.08.25/ 10:15 am) and the opera house are well worth the money. The information about the building and its use was phenomenal. I can only recommend it.
