(c) Bernd Geller Peer Gynt — Northern Lights of Classical Music: Dresdner Zwinger
Dresden, Dresdner Zwinger — Wallpavillon
About the Event
Edward Grieg's influence as Scandinavia's most famous composer reached far beyond Norway. Whether atmospheric daybreak in the high mountains, sunrise and bird singing, he created a poetry of nature. The chamber ensemble of the DRESDNER RESIDENZ ORCHESTRA presents works from the north of Europe, including 'Vocalise' by Sergei Rachmaninoff or 'Valse
Triste' by Sean Sibelius, in a mystical‐romantic and light‐hearted way.
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.

Ich habe das Konzert sehr genossen. Da ich hier auf einem Kurzurlaub war — aus Dänemark, werde ich nicht so schnell wieder ein Ticket benötigen. Zu meinem 80. Geburtstag habe ich mir diesen Urlaum mit Koncert gegönnt.
