Manchmal gehe ich ohne ein konkretes Ziel los und lasse mich überraschen. Heute hat sich das mal richtig gelohnt, denn nach dem Regen vom Nachmittag gabs eine wahre Farbexplosion kurz nach Sonnenuntergang. So habe ich die historische Kulisse von Dresden noch nie erlebt!
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 near the Elbe River in the historic centre of Dresden, Germany. (Wikipedia)
The rich decorations, the stucco, the wood and marble. All this reminded us more of a palace than an opera.

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.

Dresden is a beautiful city in former East Germany. Towards the end of the Second World War, on the night of 13 to 14 February 1945, this city suffered greatly from a heavy bombing which destroyed much of the city center. The photo partially shows the Semperoper, a famous concert hall. The Semperoper was also completely destroyed during the bombing and was rebuilt afterwards. The special roof in the background is not a mosque but is the roof of a former cigarette factory. The building now serves as an office.

Gastronomiegebäude der Semperoper Dresden
"Das Gastronomiegebäude gehört zum Ensemble der rückwärtig an die Semperoper angrenzenden Funktionsgebäude, die 1985 errichtet worden sind. Das Erscheinungsbild ist geprägt durch die plastische Durchgestaltung der Baukörper, die streng gerasterten, mit Sandsteintafeln bekleideten Fassaden und die markanten bronzefarbenen Sonnenschutzverglasungen. Als typische bauhistorische Zeugnisse ihrer Entstehungszeit wurden die Gebäude 2013 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt.
Zur Unterbringung des großen stützenfreien Raums der neuen Studiobühne ist die Verlagerung der derzeitigen Kantine und Küche in das Erdgeschoss vorgesehen.
Für die Neuplanung wurden den Nutzungen Studiobühne mit Besucherbereich sowie Betriebskantine mit Küche und Technik im Gebäude jeweils klar abgegrenzte Flächen zugeordnet."
