Following a devastating fire in 1869, the citizens of Dresden immediately set about rebuilding their opera house. They demanded that Gottfried Semper do the reconstruction, even though he was then in exile because of his involvement in the May 1849 uprising in Dresden. The architect had his son, Manfred Semper, build the second opera house using his plans. Completed in 1878, it was built in Neo-Renaissance style. During the construction period, performances were held at the Gewerbehaussaal, which opened in 1870.
The building is considered to be a prime example of "Dresden Baroque" architecture. It is situated on the Theatre Square in central Dresden on the bank of the Elbe River. On top of the portal there is a Panther quadriga with a statue of Dionysos. The interior was created by architects of the time, such as Johannes Schilling. Monuments on the portal depict artists, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare, Sophocles, Molière and Euripides. The building also features work by Ernst Rietschel and Ernst Julius Hähnel.
In 1945, during the last months of World War II, the building was largely destroyed again, this time by the bombing of Dresden and subsequent firestorm, leaving only the exterior shell standing. Exactly 40 years later, on 13 February 1985, the opera's reconstruction was completed. It was rebuilt to be almost identical to its appearance before the war, but with the benefit of new stage machinery and an accompanying modern rear service building.
The Semperoper reopened with the opera that was performed just before the building's destruction in 1945, Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz. When the Elbe flooded in 2002, the building suffered heavy water damage. With substantial help from around the world, it reopened in December of that year.

Weder Wind noch Regen konnten mich heute Abend davon abhalten, mit Kamera und Stativ die Fotos für dieses Panorama zu machen. Eigentlich hatte ich noch etwas mehr zeigen wollen, aber das Wetter war mir wirklich nicht hold. Zumindest aus 3 Aufnahmen zusammengesetzt erscheinen hier die bekannten Gebäude der Dresdener Altstadt mit sanften Spiegelungen im Fluss.
Wenn ich das nächste Mal im April hier bin, gelingt vielleicht das, was heute nur Wunschtraum blieb...

Die Semperoper in Dresden ist das Opernhaus der Sächsischen Staatsoper Dresden, die als Hof- und Staatsoper Sachsens eine lange geschichtliche Tradition hat. Klangkörper der Staatsoper ist die traditionsreiche Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden. Die Semperoper befindet sich am Theaterplatz im historischen Stadtkern von Dresden in der Nähe der Elbe. Sie ist nach ihrem Architekten Gottfried Semper benannt.
Built between 1838 and 1841 by master builder Gottfried Semper. Over the years it has been destroyed several times or almost destroyed. This construction was reopened in 1985.

Due to current events, I interrupt my holiday series today. In Saxony, the electricity can probably be used again, because in Dresden the light has been switched on again for a week on the Terrassenufer.
So I went there spontaneously last night and came back with a few photos.
They were probably able to pay the electricity bill again after they debited my car tax. Only at the Church of Our Lady (on the left side) does the lighting remain switched off. But this is no reason for me to join the church now and finance it as well.
By the way, I made that photo from the Maria’s Bridge. You don't see Dresden's old town as often from this side as from the other.
Aus aktuellem Anlass unterbreche ich heute meine Urlaubsreihe. In Sachsen kann der Strom vermutlich wieder genutzt werden, denn in Dresden brennt am Terrassenufer seit einer Woche wieder das Licht.
Also bin ich gestern Abend spontan dorthin gefahren und bin auch mit ein paar Fotos zurückgekommen.
Wahrscheinlich konnten sie die Stromabrechnung nun begleichen, nachdem sie mir die Kfz-Steuer abgebucht hatten. Nur an der Frauenkirche (auf der linken Seite) bleibt die Beleuchtung ausgeschaltet. Aber das ist für mich kein Grund, der Kirche beizutreten, um das dann auch noch zu finanzieren.
Das Foto habe ich übrigens von der Marienbrücke aus gemacht. Von dieser Seite sieht man die Dresdner Altstadt nicht so oft wie von der anderen.

This famous Opera house was heavily destroyed during WW II
and again highly damaged by the flood desaster in 2002.
Soon it was restaurated fully and count as a jewel and landmark of Saxony.

Dieses berühmte Opernhaus wurde im 2. Weltkrieg schwer zerstört und durch die verheerende Flut 2002 erneut schwer beschädigt.
Zügig wurde dies Juwel restauriert und zählt zu den Wahrzeichen Sachsens.
No, we don't have a sandy beach in front of the Semper Opera in Dresden, even if it may look like that. The gobal warming isn't so fare yet. Off course this is snow, coloured by the light of the tungsten lamps. I dindn't have that view for some years now.
Nein, wir haben keinen Sanddstrand vor der Semperoper in Dresden, auch wenn es vielleicht so aussieht. Noch ist die Erderwärmung nicht so weit fortgeschritten. Das ist natürlich Schnee der vom Licht der Wolframlampen eingefärbt wird. Den Anblick hatte ich schon ein paar Jahre nicht mehr.

The Semperoper is the opera house of the Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden (Saxon State Opera) and the concert hall of the Staatskapelle Dresden (Saxon State Orchestra). It is also home to the Semperoper Ballett. The building is located on the Theaterplatz near the Elbe River in the historic centre of Dresden, Germany.
The opera house was originally built by the architect Gottfried Semper in 1841. After a devastating fire in 1869, the opera house was rebuilt, partly again by Semper, and completed in 1878. The opera house has a long history of premieres, including major works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

A dreamlike sunset behind the historical Old town of Dresden. The panorama is starting on the right with the operahouse Semperoper. In the centre You see the court chapel and next to it the city palace. I've seen this view so many time and I'm still impressed.
Ein traumhafter Sonnenuntergang hinter der historischen Altstadt von Dresden. Das Panorama beginnt auf der rechten Seite mit der Semperoper. In der Mitte steht die Hofkirche und daneben das Schloß. Ich habe diesen Anblick schon so oft bewundert und ich bin immernoch beeindruckt.

A view over Dresden's palace square shortly after sunset. Thanks to the longer exposure time, most of the people have disappeared. Only a few "ghosts" can still be seen on closer inspection.
It doesn't matter how often I come here, whether to take photos or not. This sight will always be something special for me. And I always wonder what these old walls have seen.
For example, Napoleon Bonaparte visited the city 11 times and spoke to his troops here in the square just outside the church in 1813 before leading them into battle. There is even a cobblestone marked with an 'N', said to mark where the great general once stood.
This is just one of certainly countless historical events that have taken place here.
Incidentally, you can see here (from left to right): The George's Gate(a former city gate), the Hausmann's tower (the oldest surviving part of the city palace), the cathedral Sanctissimae Trinitatis (the Chapel Royal of Dresden) as well as the famous opera house Semperoper.
Ein Blick über den Dresdner Schlossplatz kurz nach Sonnenuntergang. Dank der längeren Belichtungszeit sind die meisten Menschen verschwunden. Lediglich ein paar „Geister“ sind bei genauerem Hinsehen noch zu erkennen.
Es spielt keine Rolle, wie oft ich hierher komme, ob um Fotos zu machen oder nicht. Dieser Anblick wird für mich immer etwas Besonderes sein. Und ich frage mich immer, was diese alten Mauern wohl schon gesehen haben.
So hat zum Beispiel Napoleon Bonaparte die Stadt elf Mal besucht und hier auf dem Platz direkt vor der Kirche im Jahr 1813 zu seinen Truppen gesprochen, bevor er sie in die Schlacht führte. Es gibt sogar einen mit einem „N“ markierten Kopfsteinpflasterstein, der markieren soll, wo einst der große Feldherr stand.
Dies ist nur eines von sicherlich unzähligen historischen Ereignissen, die hier stattgefunden haben.
Zu sehen sind hier übrigens (von links nach rechts): Das Georgentor (ein ehemaliges Stadttor), der Hausmannsturm (der älteste erhaltene Teil des Stadtschlosses), der Dom Sanctissimae Trinitatis (die Hofkirche von Dresden). ) sowie die berühmte Semperoper.
