Built in 1841, the Semperoper is a bit of a hodgepodge of styles – which only adds to its charms. There are Early Renaissance, Baroque and even Corinthian style pillars typically seen in classical Greece. The building today is a reconstruction of the original, which was bombed in the last few weeks of World War Two. It’s the home of the Saxon State Opera Dresden and the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.
