Topic: Semperoper


  
  BoschLive
In the course of its history, the Semperoper has experienced a considerable amount of fire and flood damage, most recently during the floods in the summer of 2002.
The Semperoper is one of Dresden’s most important attractions; had it had to stay closed, the entire city would have been affected.
A visit to the magnificent Semperoper is always a very special highlight - not only to see the beautiful building, which was originally opened as the Royal Court Theater, but also to enjoy the opera’s exceptional performance program.

 classical music - andante - dresden's dim götterdämmerung
Occasional historical references — as in Act II, which had statues and models that might have been created by Arno Breker and Albert Speer, Hitler's favorite sculptor and architect —; were confusing and illogical, since Decker basically aimed at timelessness (though some of the costumes suggested the late 19th century).
When the Semperoper's curtain opened for the prologue to Götterdämmerung, it was no big surprise that we once again faced those wavy rows of seats.
Five hours later, when Brünnhilde was supposed to leap onto the funeral pyre, she instead took a seat in the onstage auditorium, where Wotan and the gods were awaiting her.

 classical music - andante - flood threat to semperoper and other dresden landmarks recedes
BERLIN — The Elbe River flooded low-lying areas of Dresden on Sunday [March 20], but forecasts indicated that its waters — fed by rain and melting snow in the Czech Republic — would crest below levels that devastated the city's cultural treasures in 2002.
Streams and Elbe tributaries in other parts of Saxony state also overflowed their banks, but apparently caused no major damage.
When the Elbe reached a record 9.4 meters (nearly 31 feet) three summers ago, it caused billions in damage in eastern Germany, including to Dresden's museums, Semperoper and other cultural landmarks.

We hoofed it down over the Elba River to the Theaterplatz, where stands the Semperoper (the main opera house, well it's not really the Semperoper, but more on that later) we walked the city for awhile and then came back for a guided tour.
So by now you're wondering why the old buildings are "old", why the Semperoper is not really the Semperoper, and why a 250+ year old church isnt done yet.
On our last day in dresden we toured the Semperoper and then went on a tour of the "transparent factory" where VW produces the Phaeton.
