Hotels near Semperoper, Dresden

This historic opera house has premiered the work of Germany’s finest composers. Wagner’s “Tannhäuser” and Strauss’s “Salome” were first aired here. As night falls, the building’s deftly lit Neo-Renaissance façade primes you for a dramatic evening. Inside, slip into a velvety red seat and admire the theatre’s grand frescoed ceiling until the overture sounds. Bravo!
