Dresde is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Rebuilt identically after World War II bombings, its historical centre is full of baroque treasures. Landmark monument of this city, the Frauenkirche shines thanks to its stone dome. Ancient summer palace of the kings of Saxe, Zwinger castle is an outstanding architectural ensemble from the 18th century. Along the Elbe on more than 500 meters, the Brühlsche Terrasse deserves its nickname of “balcony of Europe”. One can also admire the sparkling gems of the Grünes Gewolbe museum, one of the most important jewellery collection in the world.
But the “Florence on Elbe” owns another treasure : its opera. The Semperoper is not only one of the most wonderful theaters of Europe but also one of the most prestigious one. Under the direction of the great conductor Christian Thielemann, the Staatskapelle Orchestra of Dresde renews with the most glorious hours of its history. In a production from David Bösch, The Woman Without a Shadow from Richard Strauss reconnects with the theater which saw its birth. The equation is inexorable : sublime opera and sublime theater in a fantastic city !
