Semperoper Dresden
What the experts agree on
Dresden's stunning Renaissance Revival opera house dazzles with ornate façade details and legendary Wagner premieres. Worth visiting for the architecture alone, though expect crowds during performances.
“Packs in the crowds for opera, classical music, and dance concerts... check it out even if the performances aren't your thing.”
