(c) Bernd Geller Italian Night — from Italy to the world: Dresdner Zwinger
Dresden, Dresdner Zwinger — Wallpavillon
About the Event
The influence of Italy shaped the classical music. Pieces such as 'Barcarole' from 'The Tales of Hoffmann' by Jacques Offenbach and the Divertimento in D major KV 136 by W. A. Mozart are heard, as well as the most beautiful arias and works by the great Italian composers: Guiseppe Verdi, Gioachino Rossini, Pietro Mascagni or Antonio Vivaldi.
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.
