We visited the opera house as part of a trip Dresden. The guide gave us a very comprehensive tour which covered the history of the building and a thorough description of the works of art displayed. Definitely worth a visit.

I saw a classical performance of 'Coppelia' and was very impressed by the standard of the performance of the orchestra and the dancers. The building itself is beautiful. Although expensive, this is a must for everyone travelling to Dresden.

It's restored to all its previous glory. Comfortable seats, English translations, reasonable prices and AMAZING performances as you would expect in German-speaking Europe. Make sure you get there on time, though. The 19:30 operas start at 19:29:59 and if you're not there by 19:29, you get to watch from the lobby.

We went to the ticket counter Friday at 11 and wanted tickets for Rigoletto Saturday. Luckily we were able to buy tickets - as my husbond is using a when... More

I took a tour of the opera and then went to see a show albeit not in the main building but in the back where they have operas with young talent. Lovely!

Worth going for a show, I'd say. I went to see the "Magic Flute". Only thing I'd advise before buying a ticket: Inform yourself it it's a modern show or traditional. The Magic Flute was a modern take on the whole thing which made it kind harder to understand what was going on. However, the rest of the experience (service,... More
