Dresden, Dresdner Zwinger — Wallpavillon
About the Event
Experience Mozart's fairy‐tale opera presented as a concert featuring singers and a narrator—from the overture to Papageno's Bird‐Catcher's Song at the Dresdner Zwinger.
A prince in search of his true love, a cheerful birdcatcher, a mysterious queen, and many trials: “The Magic Flute” is one of the most popular operas of all time. A narration in German guides the audience through the story of Tamino and Pamina—so everyone can easily follow the plot, even without being familiar with the opera.
Singers, together with the DRESDNER RESIDENZ ORCHESTER, bring the opera’s most beautiful melodies to the Wallpavillon—from the festive overture to Papageno’s cheerful song. Performed up close to the audience, Mozart’s music sounds light, humorous, and surprisingly fresh: an evening for everyone who loves *The Magic Flute* and for everyone experiencing it for the first time.
Practical Information
The concert hall in the Wallpavillon is located on the upper level of the Dresden Zwinger Palace opposite the Glockenspiel Pavilion. One path leads up from the inner courtyard of the Zwinger via curved steps. The second path leads from Theaterplatz over a small rampart — located to the right of the restaurant & Café Alte Meister / Theaterplatz 1a and opposite the left side of the Semperoper Dresden — to the upper level. There are three sandstone steps to climb. On concert days, signs will guide you to us.
Due to the historical construction, the toilets and the concert hall are not barrier‐free but only accessible via steps.
