Semperoper Dresden

Dresden and its majestic Old Town are home to a cultural heritage of international renown. Every year hundreds of thousands of visitors are captivated by the precious paintings, prestigious orchestras and musical ensembles as well as impressive buildings from different eras. One of the most famous venues is also located in this city on the Elbe: the Semperoper, an opera house with a global reputation, a distinguished ensemble and many international guests. This is also the home of the Staatskapelle Dresden, one of the oldest orchestras in the world and thus steeped in tradition. Founded in 1548 by Elector Moritz of Saxony as a court orchestra, its list of former conductors includes Heinrich Schütz, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wag-ner, who described the ensemble as his »mira-culous harp«. Operatic history has been written at the Semperoper: This is where Richard Wag-

ner gave the world premieres of »Rienzi«, »The Flying Dutchman« and »Tannhäuser«. There is also an indelible connection to Richard Strauss, nine of whose 15 operas were performed for the first time at the Semperoper, including »Salome«, »Der Rosenkavalier« and »Elektra«. In fact, Richard Strauss collaborated closely with the Staatskapelle for almost seventy years. In 2014, his 150th birthday was celebrated at the Semperoper with a special programme of events.

From the 2018 / 19 season, Peter Theiler is Artistic Director of the Saxon State Opera in Dresden. Together with his team and artistic directors, Peter Theiler understands music the-atre and ballet in all its facets as a living memory and vital expression of our contem-porary world. With celebrated conductors, stage directors and singers of the highest

calibre as well as international collaborations, the reputation of the Semperoper will continue to grow under his watch.

Christian Thielemann has been principal conductor of the Staatskapelle since the 2012/13 season. The Saxon State Opera Chorus is famous in Germany and elsewhere through its concerts and CD productions. Founded by Carl Maria von Weber in 1817, celebrations to mark its 200th anniversary were held in October 2017. Weber was also instrumental in creating a dedicated ballet company in Dresden. Founded in 1823, its first artistic heyday came in the 1920s, followed by many great choreographies after the Second World War under directors Tom Schilling, Harald Wandtke and Vladimir Derevianko.

Aaron S. Watkin has been the director of Sem-peroper Ballett since 2006. Today the company is renowned for the strength and versatility of its dancers, who perform a wide repertoire of classical and contemporary dance styles.

At the Semperoper, tradition and modernity have gone hand in hand for centuries. Des-troyed during the bombing of Dresden on 13 February 1945, the opera house was officially reopened 40 years later, on 13 February 1985.

The world-famous and thrilling overture to »Guillaume Tell« opens an opera that proves no less spectacular. Fea-turing the shooting of an apple and the legendary oath on Rütli meadow, Gioachino Rossini’s work, which premiered in 1829, brings to the stage the founding myth of Switzerland. The composer ensured plenty of vocal fireworks in his final masterpiece, presenting brilliant arias and exciting large choral scenes – and, famously, 19 high Cs in the tenor’s aria.

»The Magic Flute« by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is beloved by opera fans all around the world. Its secret lies in a wonderful blend of naïve folk theatre, a humanistic message as well as moments of pure magic contrasted with divine solemnity. The work is infused with the genius of Mozart, who in his last opera poured out a veritable cornucopia of musical ideas. In his staging, Josef E. Köpplinger send the audience together with Tamino on a dreamlike and poetic journey, full of vivid images, into adulthood.

An opera about the power of music: In »L’Orfeo«, Claudio Monteverdi tells of the singer Orpheus, who is able to bring back his wife Euridice from the realm of the dead with the beauty of his voice. Monteverdi invented the genre of opera with this work from 1607. For the Sem-peroper, director and puppeteer Nikolaus Habjan, a shoo-ting star of the Austrian theatre scene, stages the opera not only with singers but also life-size puppets. The con-ductor and lutenist Wolfgang Katschner will be our guide through the fantastic musical world of this earliest of operas.

Capriccio

Conductor Christian ThielemannStaging Jens-Daniel Herzog

Premiere 8 May 2021Performances 14 & 16 May 2021

Richard Strauss’s last opera, »Capriccio«, transports us into a Rococo world, specifically to a castle near Paris where a poet and a composer are vying for the love of a countess. This is presented as an argument about the nature of opera. What is more important: the words or music? ... Strauss orchestrated this work, a self-confessed »Conversation Piece for Music«, for large orchestra. Under Christian Thielemann, the Staatskapelle Dresden will enchant listeners with an atmospheric chamber-like timbre in the famous string sextet and poetic moonlight music.

Premiere 3 July 2021Performances 6, 9, 11 & 14 Jul 2021

One of Giacomo Puccini’s most colourful operas, »Turandot« features a uniquely exotic score, which makes use of original Chinese melodies. The story of Princess Turandot, who demands that any suitor solve three ridd-les, alternates between the image of a distant fairytale world with bizarre characters and the exposure of a cruel society where despotism and bondage prevail. Only the unknown Prince Calaf succeeds in the impossible. His aria »Nessun dorma« (Let no one sleep!) has become one of the best-known in the entire Italian operatic literature.

Performances 3, 6, 11, 13, 16 Mar &18, 24 Apr 2021

The uncompromising Carmen lives only for the moment; love is as easy for her as a bird in the wind. Soldier Don José’s passion for Carmen leads to his downfall when virile Escamillo Torrero interferes with the already crumbling relationship. The final showdown ends fatally. Panned by critics as an »immoral work« at the premiere, this opera has become an integral part of the standard repertoire.

RICHARD STRAUSS

Der Rosenkavalier

Conductor Nicolaj Szeps-ZnaiderDirector Uwe Eric Laufenberg

Performances 27, 30 Jun & 4 Jul 2021

When Octavian delivers a silver engagement rose to Sophie on behalf of the aged fortune-hunter Baron Ochs, the young couple fall in love. For the Marschallin this blossoming rela-tionship means the loss of her younger lover Octavian, for Sophie social advancement and for Ochs a great humiliation. Hardly any opera is more familiar to Semperoper audiences than the bittersweet comedy »Der Rosenkavalier« by Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, which premiered here in 1911.

CARL MARIA VON WEBER

Der Freischütz

Conductor Thomas GuggeisDirector Axel Köhler

Performances 13, 15, 20, 24, 25. May,21, 26 Jun & 7 Jul 2021

The desperate desire for success draws assis-tant forester Max into the darkest recesses of the human soul. He resolves to accompany Cas-par into the Wolf’s Glen to cast the magic bul-lets with which he hopes to win the hand of his Agathe at the prize shooting. This perhaps most romantic of German operas portrays not only the fate of a man driven to extremes by the fear of failure, but also a society which has lost its bearings and seeks stability. Der Wildschütz / The PoacherCarmen

ALBERT LORTZING

Der Wildschütz /The Poacher

Musical Director Johannes FritzschStaging Jens-Daniel Herzog

Performances 22, 27, 30 May & 8 Jun 2021

To celebrate his engagement to the young Gret-chen, the village schoolmaster Baculus shoots what seems to be a roe deer on the lands of Count Eberbach. Yet this act of poaching could well be his undoing … Lortzing’s comic opera is a classic satire, a charming tale of mistaken identities that pokes fun at middle-class vanities and hollow values. Yet all the foibles and mistakes are so wonderfully human that we cannot take offence, but rather are forced to laugh at ourselves.

JACQUES OFFENBACH

The Grand Duchessof Gerolstein

Conductor Jonathan Darlington Director Josef E. Köpplinger

Performances 15, 19, 25 Mar & 15 Apr 2021

The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein loves men in smart uniforms. Although her duchy is really much too insignificant for war, the Grand Duchess loves to blow the trumpet to ready the fit soldiers for attack. She is particularly fond of the simple soldier Fritz, whom she quickly promotes from private to general – but, just as fast, he slips back down the career ladder. Jac-ques Offenbach’s cheeky comedy »The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein« was directed at the Semperoper by Josef E. Köpplinger, a specia-list for entertaining musical theatre.

JOHANN STRAUSS

Die Fledermaus

Conductor Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider Director Günter Krämer

Performances 16, 21 Dec 2020 & 1, 3 Jan2021

A marquis and a chevalier, a Hungarian coun-tess and aspiring artists meet at Count Orlofsky’s ball. No one, however, is who they claim to be. Everything is masquerade and fakery, and so the high-society ball ends at the prison, where the masks fall and everyone agrees: The champagne was to blame! Rightly regarded as the »Queen of Operettas«, Johann Strauß’s »Die Fledermaus« always creates a sparkling atmosphere, not just at the turn of the year!

GIUSEPPE VERDI

Don Carlo

Conductor Paolo Arrivabeni Director Vera Nemirova

Performances 10, 16, 23 Apr & 9 May 2021

In co-production with theOsterfestpiele Salzburg

Giuseppe Verdi’s opera »Don Carlo«, based on the play by Friedrich Schiller, is presented at the Semperoper in cooperation with the Salzburg Easter Festival.

Don Giovanni

Conductor Omer Meir Wellber Director Andreas Kriegenburg

Performances 24, 26, 31 Oct & 2 Nov 2020

Don Giovanni just can’t resist the ladies, whe-ther the aristocratic Donna Elvira, the already engaged Donna Anna or the peasant girl Zer-lina. The fact that he thereby gains the wrath of his jilted lovers, as well as their husbands and fathers, is just water off a duck’s back. Yet the fates are conspiring against him … Along with »Così fan tutte« and »Le nozze di Figaro«, Mozart’s famed interpretation of the Don Juan legend completes the Da Ponte cycle.

The tale of the siblings Hänsel and Gretel, who get lost in the woods and fall into the clutches of the evil witch, is imaginatively expanded in Katharina Thalbach’s production of the opera by Engelbert Humperdinck. Featuring other figures from the stories of the Brothers Grimm, the director invites children and adults alike to follow in the footsteps of the beloved fairy-tale characters through the beautiful yet gruesome magical forest.

Premiered in 1816, Rossini’s comic opera »Il barbiere di Siviglia« rightly bears the subtitle »The Useless Precaution«. Full of jealousy, old Dottore Bartolo tries to keep his ward Rosina locked away in order to marry her himself and thereby gain her rich inheritance. However, his hopes are shattered when the young and char-ming Count Almaviva conquers the young woman’s heart thanks to clever disguises, spar-kling melodies and the help of the barber Figaro.

Sharing a flat in Paris’s bohemian community of artists and students, the poet Rodolfo and his friends pursue a lifestyle that brings free-dom albeit with financial hardship. Things seem to take a turn for the better when Rodolfo falls in love with his neighbour Mimí. But poverty and Mimí’s mortal illness overshadow the relationship. Christine Mielitz’s production of Puccini’s fourth opera is one of the most popular works in the Semperoper repertoire.

GAETANO DONIZETTI

L’elisir d’amore /The Elixir of Love

Conductor Omer Meier WellberDirector Michael Schulz

Performances 29 May & 2, 5 Jun 2021

Upon first glance a comedy, »L’elisir d’amore« is in reality a drama narrated using the methods of comedy that encompasses love in all its complexity. And Donizetti, far from making a parody of seesawing emotions, instead reconciles them with his light and melodious music.

GIUSEPPE VERDI

Concealing her mortal illness, the courtesan Violetta is the heart and soul of glittering par-ties. But then she falls in love with Alfredo.

Giacomo Puccini considered his Tragedia giapponese, premiered in Milan in 1904, to be his most emotionally charged opera. Even today, the tragic love story of the young geisha Cio-Cio-san and the American naval officer touches our hearts while we are shaken by the realism with which cultural misunderstandings are shown. Together with star designer Kenzo Takada, Japanese director Amon Miyamoto presents an oriental view of this Japanese-American romance.

The singer Tosca lives solely for her art. But when her lover, the painter Cavaradossi, gives refuge to the escaped political prisoner Angelotti, both are targeted by a brutal state authority.

The jester is clad in poisonous green in Niko-laus Lehnhoffs production of »Rigoletto«, and poisonous also is his mockery of the Duke of Mantua’s courtiers and subjects. At the same time he frets about his only daughter, whom he shields from the outside world in order to keep her from the clutches of his master, a notorious womanizer. When the Duke nevertheless mana-ges to have his wicked way, Rigoletto swears bloody revenge. But his plot backfires ...

Based on the story of the Babylo-nian king Nabucco, his power-hungry daughter Abigaille and the subjugated people of the Isra-elites, the opera, premiered in 1842, tells of freedom, faith and human hubris. »Nabucco« is one of Verdi’s most popular operas, not least thanks to the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, »Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate«.

In 2021 Willy Decker’s production of »Der Ring des Nibelungen« returns to the stage of the Semperoper Dresden. Principal Conductor Christian Thielemann, an acclaimed Wagner specialist, will direct the Dresden Staatskapelle, whom Richard Wagner called his »miraculous harp«, in this psychologically penetrating and musically explosive drama of gods and men. It was during his tenure as the Saxon court’s Kapellmeister that Richard Wagner decided to compose a work around the Nibelungen legend, and indeed the first reading of the draft libretto was held in Dresden. Intending to write a great opera about the hero Siegfried, Wagner ended up creating a tetralogy consisting of a preliminary evening and three days. The complete cycle was premiered in 1876 in the Festspielhaus in Bayreuth, specially built for this magnum opus.Aided by a fabulous ensemble of singers, Willy Decker’s production places the battle for the power of the ring within a theatre, which becomes the backdrop for the demise of the gods and the rise of man. Thereby, the boundary between stage and reality becomes ever more blurred. This is a pow-erful interpretation of Wagner’s music drama, featuring heartrending characters and fantastic images.

The well-ordered realm of the Gods is shaken to its core when the Nibelung dwarf, Alberich, ste-als the Rhine gold from the careless Rhine mai-dens. This gold, fashioned into a ring, can bestow power over the world, but only when the bearer forswears love for all eternity. Such renunciation seems impossible to the Rhine mai-dens, yet the power-hungry Alberich is willing to pay this price. Everyone wants to possess the ring; even Wotan, Father of the Gods, is not immune to its allure. After stealing it from Albe-rich, Wotan in turn loses the ring to the giant Fafner, who even kills his own brother to possess it.

In »Plot Point« Crystal Pite, one of the leading choreographers of the present day, is inspired by the film score of »Psycho« to shed light on the nature of storytelling.

Based on Henrik Ibsen’s drama, »Peer Gynt« by the multi-talented Swede Johan Inger is not only a full-length ballet but a true Gesamtkunstwerk consisting of dance, pantomime, singing and music. With wonderfully descrip-tive physical vocabulary, the choreographer sends the bon vivant Peer Gynt, who certainly shows parallels to Inger’s own life, on a turbulent journey. Aimlessly dancing through life, at times stumbling, he finds himself in stran-gely surreal situations, only to finally arrive back in his homeland and realize: Happiness is so close at hand.

HERBERT BLOMSTEDT

Conductor Laureate

Founded by Moritz, Elector of Saxony, in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and thus stee-ped in tradition.

Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this one-time court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. Prominent conductors of the last 100 years include Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sander-ling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sino-poli. From 2002 the orchestra was led by Bernard Haitink (until 2004) followed by Fabio Luisi (2007-2010). Since the 2012/13 season, Christian Thielemann has been prin-cipal conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden. In May 2016, Herbert Blomstedt, a former principal conductor of long standing, was appointed the orchestra’s conductor laureate. The only previous titleholder, from 1990 until his death in 2013, was Sir Colin Davis. Myung-Whun Chung has been principal guest conductor since the 2012/13 season.

Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premie-red in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either premiered by or dedicated to the orchestra. In 2007 the Staats-kapelle reaffirmed this tradition by introdu-cing the annual position of »Capell-Composi-teur«, subsequently held by composers such as Hans Werner Henze, Wolfgang Rihm, Sofia Gubaidulina, Arvo Pärt and Peter Eötvös.

The Staatskapelle’s home is the Semper-oper, where it performs around 260 operas and ballets each season. In addition, the ensemble presents another 50 symphonic and chamber concerts as well as a concert series held in Dresden’s Frauenkirche.

As one of the world’s most celebrated sym-phony orchestras, the Staatskapelle regularly travels abroad to the foremost classical venues. Since 2013 it has been the resident orchestra of the Salzburg Easter Festival, whose artistic director is Christian Thielemann.

The Staatskapelle also supports the local region: Since October 2008 it has been the patron orchestra of Meetingpoint Music Messiaen in the double city of Görlitz / Zgor-zelec. And in September 2010 the orchestra helped found the International Shostakovich Festival in Gohrisch (Saxon Switzerland), which is the only such annual event entirely dedicated to the music and life of Dmitri Shostakovich.

In Brussels in 2007 the Staatskapelle became the first – and so far only – orchestra to be awarded the »European Prize for the Pre-servation of the World’s Musical Heritage«.

Volkswagen is a partner of the Staatskapelle Dresden.


Christian ThielemannPrincipal Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden

Since the 2012 / 13 season Christian Thielemann is the principal conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden. Following engagements at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, in Gelsenkirchen, Karlsruhe, Hanover and Dusseldorf, he became Generalmusikdirektor in Nuremberg in 1988. In 1997 he returned to his hometown of Berlin to direct the Deutsche Oper until 2004, when he became music director of the Munich Philharmonic, a post he occupied until 2011. In addition to his current position in Dresden, Thielemann has been artistic director of the Salzburg Easter Festival (where the Staatskapelle is resident orchestra) since 2013.

In recent seasons Christian Thielemann has contributed greatly to the birthday cele-brations for Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. But he has also conducted the works of diverse composers ranging from Bach to Henze, Rihm and Gubaidulina, in Dresden and on tour. In the Semperoper he has con-ducted new productions of »Manon Lescaut«, »Simon Boccanegra«, »Elektra« and »Der Freischütz« as well as two complete cycles of Wagner’s »Ring des Nibelungen« in early 2018. At the Salzburg Easter Festival he has conducted »Parsifal«, »Arabella«, the operatic double-bill »Cavalleria rusticana« / »Pagliacci« as well as »Otello«, »Die Walküre«, »Tosca« and »Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg«.

Christian Thielemann maintains close ties to the Berlin Philharmonic as well as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, whose New Year’s Concert he conducted in 2019. Fol-lowing his debut at the Bayreuth Festival in 2000, he has returned every year to thrill audiences with benchmark interpretations, first as musical advisor for five years and,

since 2015, as the festival’s music director. In addition, he has been invited to conduct the great orchestras of Amsterdam, London, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, and has per-formed in Israel, Japan and China.

As a UNITEL exclusive artist, Christian Thielemann has a large catalogue of recor-dings. His most recent projects with the Staatskapelle include the complete symphonies of Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann as well as the operas »Der Freischütz«, »Cavalleria rusticana«/»Pagliacci«, »Elektra«, »Die Walküre« and »Lohengrin«, on CD or DVD. In addition to symphonic works by Beethoven, Liszt, Bruckner, Reger, Pfitzner and Busoni, he has recorded various New Year’s Eve concerts for DVD release with the Staatskapelle Dresden. Together with the Vienna Philharmonic, he has recorded a complete set of Beethoven’s symphonies.

Christian Thielemann is an honorary mem-ber of London’s Royal Academy of Music and holds honorary doctorates from the Franz Liszt College of Music in Weimar and the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. In May 2015 he was awarded the Richard Wagner Prize of the Richard Wagner Society of Leipzig, and in October 2016 received the Prize of the Sem-peroper Foundation. Christian Thielemann is the patron of the Richard-Wagner-Stätten in Graupa as well as the 49th International Youth Music Competition »jugend creativ« of the Volksbank and Raiffeisenbank.

2020 / 21 Season

ROLANDO VILLAZÓNRolando Villazón has established himself as one of today’s leading te-nors through his uniquely captivating performances at the world’s fore-most opera houses and concert halls. He is also one of the most versatile of artists: Alongside his stage career, he is also known through his work as a director, writer and TV personality. In Dresden he can again be enjoyed as a singer, performing the role of Orfeo in the Semperoper.

KRASSIMIRA STOYANOVAAlthough Krassimira Stoyanova has risen to the top of the operatic world since her international debut in Vien-na in 1998, taking her place among the list of legendary Bulgarian sin-gers, the soprano still has her feet firmly on the ground. Dresden au-diences can now look forward to her appearance as the Countess in Ri-chard Strauss’s »Capriccio« conduc-ted by Christian Thielemann.

DMITRY SEMIONOVFormer principal dancer of the Semperoper Ballett, Dmitry Semi-onov, is now a guest artist at lea-ding companies worldwide, inclu-ding St. Peterburg’s Mikhailovsky Theatre, the Shanghai Ballet, the Hong Kong Ballet, the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb and the Slovak National Theatre in Bratis-lava. As Siegfried in »Swan Lake« he will return to the Semperoper for several performances.

ANJA HARTEROSCritics and audiences are enthralled wherever Anja Harteros appears. This »soprano for the ages« has enjo-yed worldwide success since the be-ginning of her international career in 1999. The celebrated singer now re-turns to Dresden’s opera house to perform a song recital as well as the role of Floria Tosca.

MICHAEL VOLLENamed »Singer of the Year« on se-veral occasions by the classical ma-gazine »Opernwelt«, Michael Volle has also received the German Thea-tre Prize »Der Faust«. He regularly appears at renowned opera houses and important festivals to sing the great baritone roles of Mozart, Verdi and Puccini as well as Wagner and Strauss. In this return to the Sem-peroper, he will interpret the role of Wotan.

CHRISTA MAYERAttracted to roles of great emotional depth, Mayer feels at home in the works of Richard Wagner as well as those of Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Strauss. The contralto/mezzo-sopra-no is greatly admired by opera con-noisseurs and audiences for her ver-satility and powers of expression. A member of the Semperoper ensemb-le since 2001, she excels in diverse roles: This season in Dresden she can be heard as Fricka, Maddalena and Suzuki.

RENÉ PAPEA former chorister of Dresden’s Kreuz-chor, today René Pape appears on all the world’s top stages as Boris Godu-nov, Orest, Wotan, King Marke or Me-fistofele. Born in Dresden, the bass can once again be heard at the Sempero-per performing one of the great male roles, namely the mighty Sarastro in Mozart’s opera »The Magic Flute« and as Philip in »Don Carlo«.

ANNE SCHWANEWILMSWith her remarkable voice and appea-rance, the soprano was predestined to play Wagnerian heroines. Luckily for the opera world, however, Anne Schwanewilms confidently decided to abandon this artistic straitjacket early on. She has gone on to garner many accolades, not least for her interpreta-tions of Strauss. In Dresden she will enthral audiences as the Marschallin in Strauss’s »Rosenkavalier« as well as the title role in Offenbach’s »The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein«.

MARCELO GOMESThis incredible dancer has been invited to perform as a guest artist by many in-ternational dance festivals and ballet companies such as the Mariinsky Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet, London’s Royal Bal-let, the Dutch National Ballet and many others. After making his debut appear-ance at the Semperoper in the 2018/19 season, Marcelo Gomes has now been engaged as principal soloist and ballet master of the Semperoper Ballett. He will perform lead roles in »La Bayadère«, »Vier letzte Lieder«, »Serenade«, »The Nutcracker« and »Swan Lake«.

ANGELA GHEORGHIUAngela Gheorghiu’s rise to interna-tional fame began with her 1992 debut at London’s Royal Opera House, performing Mimì in »La bohème«. Meanwhile she is at home on all the world’s great operatic sta-ges, regularly singing the title role of »Tosca« at New York’s Met, London’s Royal Opera House, the Vienna Opera and the Berlin State Opera. And it is with this role that she returns to the Semperoper.

STEPHEN GOULDThis season, heroic tenor Stephen Gould returns to the Semperoper as Siegfried. A popular guest artist in Dresden, the American is invited to sing at the world’s leading opera houses and concert halls. In recent years, this brilliant artist has ap-peared on the Semperoper stage as Florestan (»Fidelio«), Tristan (»Tris-tan und Isolde«) and Tannhäuser, roles which have brought acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

GEORG ZEPPENFELDGeorg Zeppenfeld is not only a cele-brated performer in Bayreuth and the Salzburg Easter Festival, but also in his musical home, the Semper-oper Dresden. Here in October 2015 the bass was awarded the honorary title Kammersänger for his outstan-ding artistic achievements. In the 2020 / 21 season he can be heard in Dresden performing the roles of Hunding, Sarastro, Gesler, Zaccaria and La Roche.

PAVOL BRESLIKPavol Breslik’s career began in 2005 when he was named »Young Singer of the Year« by a survey of critics conducted by Opernwelt magazine. Since 2006 the tenor has worked as a freelance singer at the Metropoli-tan Opera in New York as well as the major European opera houses and festivals. He returns to the Semper-oper as Hans in »The Bartered Bride« and makes his role debut as Duca di Mantova in »Rigoletto«.

MARIA KOCHETKOVAToday a successful freelance dancer, Maria Kochetkova has made many international guest appearances at renowned companies in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rome, Tokyo, Milan and elsewhere. After making her house and role debut as Giselle in the Semperoper in October 2019, the dancer returns to Dresden as a guest artist to perform Odette / Odile in »Swan Lake«.

Public guided tours through the opera house take place most days in both German and Eng-lish. Individual group tours are also available in many foreign languages. Or you can choose from our wide range of themed tours, which focus on various topics such as architecture or the history of music theatre in Dresden. Our special guided tours for children and school-kids let youngsters experience one of Dresden’s landmarks in a fun way, for example by discovering the Semperoper with all their senses or taking part in an exciting treasure hunt.

If you want to discover even more of Dresden’s attractions, our combined guided tour with a subsequent stroll through the Old Town is ide-al for you. Also, don’t forget our short 30-mi-nute tours before selected performances in the Semperoper. A promenade through the opu-lent foyers and vestibules is sure to get you in the perfect mood for your visit to the opera.
