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.

The Neumarkt in Dresden is a central and culturally significant section of the Dresden inner city. The historic area was almost completely wiped out during the Allied bomb attack during the Second World War. After the war Dresden fell under Soviet occupation and later the communist German Democratic Republic which rebuilt the Neumarkt area in socialist realist style and partially with historic buildings

Frauenkirche Dresden.... Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004.
Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor, and was once by personal union the family seat of Polish monarchs. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre. The controversial American and British bombing of Dresden in World War II destroyed the entire city centre. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city,
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.

It's interesting how different graffiti can transform the street in a different way. This one is from Germany and I noticed it seemed like different styles like a collaboration of urban communication.

a short fly to Dresden - the saxonian capital. Enjoy the view from the Frauenkirche and think about Canaletto. Why he love Dresden?
Dresden Cathedral, or the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Dresden, previously the Catholic Church of the Royal Court of Saxony, called in German Katholische Hofkirche and since 1980 also known as Kathedrale Sanctissimae Trinitatis, is the Catholic Cathedral of Dresden.
Always the most important Catholic church of the city, it was elevated to the status of cathedral of the Diocese of Dresden–Meissen in 1964. It is located near the Elbe river in the historic center of Dresden, Germany.
It is one of the burial sites of the House of Wettin, including Polish monarchs.

Das Ufer an der Elbe in Dresden zur blauen Stunde mit Blick auf die Semperoper, Brühlschen Terrassen und Frauenkirche gehörte schon lange zu den Bildern die ich machen wollte. Das letzte Mal als wir in Dresden waren habe ich die Semperoper zur blauen Stunde fotografiert, man kann ja nicht an 2 Punkten gleichzeitig sein. Nun hat es geklappt. Der Blick vom Königsufer auf das wunderschöne Dresden.
Ich danke euch allen für Eure Kommentare, ich lese sie alle und freue mich darüber.
The bank on the Elbe in Dresden at the blue hour with a view of the Semperoper, Brühl's terraces and Frauenkirche has long been one of the pictures I wanted to take. The last time we were in Dresden I photographed the Semperoper at the blue hour, you can't be at 2 points at the same time. Now it worked. The view from the Königsufer to the beautiful Dresden.
I thank you all for your comments, I read them all and I am happy about them.
