Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden live in Dresden

Experience Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden live on September 5th

Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden will perform a concert at Kraftwerk Mitte in Dresden on September 5, 2026. The orchestra is renowned for its interpretations of Viennese operetta, specifically works by Johann Strauss Jr., Franz Lehár, and Emmerich Kálmán. Their repertoire extends beyond these composers to include light opera, musical theatre excerpts, and waltzes, often characterized by a polished sound and emphasis on melodic beauty. The ensemble maintains a long tradition of performing this distinctly Central European musical style.

Kraftwerk Mitte is a former power plant situated on the Elbe River in Dresden. Originally constructed between 1926 and 1935, it served as a coal-fired power station until its decommissioning in 1991. Subsequently, the building underwent extensive renovation and was repurposed as a cultural and event venue. The industrial architecture of the building is notable; retaining many original features like large turbines and steel structures which create a unique atmosphere for performances. Today, Kraftwerk Mitte hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, exhibitions, and club nights, becoming an important part of Dresden’s cultural landscape.
