Semper Zwei

The new venue of the Semperoper Dresden

Logo Semper Zwei

Directly behind the Semperoper you will find Semper Zwei, an experimental venue for diverse forms of music theatre, a space for numerous musical series, scientific conferences and dance projects – and, furthermore, a place for the Junge Szene as well as the opera and ballet companies to explore innovative artistic formats in a spirit of fun.

Map of the area around Semperoper and Semper Zwei with handicapped accessible entrances

How to get there

The Semper Zwei venue is located directly behind the Semperoper and can be reached from Theaterplatz via a staircase and from Bernhard-von-Lindenau-Platz at ground level. The same arrival and parking options apply for Semper Zwei as for the Semperoper.

How to get there

Opera without barriers

There is a handicapped-accessible car park right next to the entrance to Semper Zwei. The Semper Zwei venue has ground-level access. Please note that car park and entrance can be reached barrier-free only from Bernhard-von-Lindenau-Platz; there are stairs from Theaterplatz. From the evening box office and cloakroom located on the ground floor you can reach the auditorium on the first floor via a staircase or lift. Up to two seats per performance are reserved for wheelchair users in the auditorium of Semper Zwei.
