About Theaterplatz

Welcome to Theaterplatz, the heart of Dresden’s performing arts scene. Home to Semperoper, the city’s iconic opera house and concert hall, this historic venue also hosts Semper Zwei, a smaller stage behind the main building. With a seating capacity of about 1,300 in the main auditorium and 160 in Semper Zwei, Theaterplatz offers world-class performances in a storied setting. Whether you’re catching an opera premiere, a ballet, or a concert, we’ll help you secure your seats with ease and share practical details to make your visit smooth.

Located in Dresden’s Altstadt, Theaterplatz sits beside major landmarks like the Frauenkirche and Zwinger, making it an ideal starting point for a night out in the city. Read on for seating options, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to complete your visit.

Seating at Semperoper is organized to provide excellent sightlines for opera, ballet, and concert performances. A 3D/virtual seating plan is available in the Semperoper webshop to help you choose the perfect seat.
