Semper Opera
Built in 1841, the Semper Opera is the Saxon State Opera, concert hall of the Saxon State Orchestra, and home to the Semperoper Ballet. It is named after the architect who built it, Gottfried Semper. After a fire in 1869, the citizens of Dresden demanded he be the one to rebuild, even though he was in exile for his involvement in a May 1849 Dresden uprising. So his son rebuilt it in 1878.
