The guide did a great job. Unfortunately the photo license was said too late, so there are no pictures. You should have been made aware of this when booking (online).

A guided tour by a very well-presented presenter with lots of good information about the history of the house from its origins to the present day. Impressive information about the renovation in the present day.Hildebrand,

The tour was very informative and entertaining. The lady who led the tour was very friendly and approachable. She answered all the questions and even went over the 45 minutes. Like everything else in Dresden, I found the Semper Opera House impressive.

We learned a lot about the building and the artistic aspects. The production of some of the materials was also interesting.

Explore Semperoper with a guide
On a 45-minute guided tour, choose between English or German commentary as you dive into the Semperoper Opera House's history. Learn how it rose from the ashes twice, meticulously rebuilt after fires and wartime destruction. Your guide will point out architectural gems like the ceiling frescoes and the horseshoe-shaped auditorium, designed to ensure optimal acoustics. Look up and discover the four panthers guarding the Semperoper's rooftop. These aren't mere decorations – they're symbolic guardians honoring Dionysus, the Greek god of theater, wine, and festivity.
See Dresden after dark
As dusk settles, go on a captivating 1.5-hour night watchman tour. Your costumed guide, complete with a traditional lantern and halberd, will lead you on a journey through Dresden's historic center. Sip on a complimentary Schlummertrunk, a warm, spiced nightcap, to fuel your exploration. See the Frauenkirche, a Lutheran church rebuilt after WWII destruction, and the Zwinger Palace, a baroque gem dating back to the 18th century.
