Opera premieres in 2024/25

Premierenmotiv „Mefistofele“

Imagine,
you can’t say no.

In her first season, Nora Schmid and her team are offering no fewer than ten premieres in music theatre at Dresden’s Großes Haus (playhouse) and Semper Zwei. The Semperoper is celebrating a special jubilee: Richard Strauss’s Intermezzo was premiered in Dresden exactly 100 years ago. Musically, the programme for the 2024/25 season runs from the Baroque era to contemporary works, encompassing a huge diversity of subject matter from enchanting fairy tales to science fiction operas.
