I had visitors from Lüneburg and planned something special... a steamboat trip fell through because the Elbe River was too low on water, so: off we went to our beautiful, magnificent Semperoper! The tour was very informative. We learned about the history of the building, its builder, the artists, composers, operas, and the restoration. The huge chandelier, which we were able to view from the box, was sensational... Next time we will attend a performance to see the versatile stage in action and to enjoy the varied program.

The tour of the Semperoper impressed us deeply. A fascinating building with a moving history. The lady (Susanne) who led yesterday's tour shone with her friendly personality and 100% professional expertise. My wife and I will certainly be attending an official event at the Semperoper in appropriate attire in the near future. Thank you very much for these opportunities. Dresden is really great. Best regards, Ralf and Steffi Weschenfelder.

Our tour guide gave a very engaging talk about the Semper Opera House and its architectural history. We learned a lot about the restoration work and the special techniques used. She was easy to understand. She also shared a few little anecdotes along the way. It was a wonderful experience.

It was short enough not to get boring and long enough to feel well-informed. It was just a shame that the stage was blocked by the "iron curtain."

Such a loving, personal, and insightful tour of this opera house and its history. Definitely worth seeing—even for children and teens. It’s pleasantly cool in the summer and very entertaining at 45 minutes. We didn’t take advantage of the 3-euro additional fee for taking photos.

We had booked tickets for the guided tour of the Semper Opera House on July 31, 2026, at the very last minute. The friendly lady was very knowledgeable, the tour was very thorough, and we made good use of our time. The interior of the Semper Opera House was very beautiful and impressive.

Explore the Semperoper Opera House, known for its stellar acoustics and ornate rooms, on a 45-minute guided tour in English or German.

See the Semperoper's rooftop panthers, the statue of Dionysus, and its 1,300+ seat auditorium, all rebuilt after the Second World War.

Explore Dresden's Old Town after hours on a 1.5-hour guided by a German-speaking costumed Night Watchman and enjoy a complimentary drink.

Learn why watchmen sang at night, the fate of "Frederick the Bitten," and the location of the infamous "Green Vault" diamond heist.

Fun fact: The Zwinger Palace's fountain, featuring Neptune and Amphitrite, is said to grant eternal love to couples who kiss before it.

Save money and experience the best of Dresden with this combo ticket, offering a guided tour of Semperoper and an after-hours walk around the city with the Night Watchman.

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.
