Experience Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden live on September 13th

Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden, the orchestra of the Dresden State Operetta, will perform a concert at Kraftwerk Mitte in Dresden on September 13, 2026. The orchestra specializes in the performance of operetta and musical theatre repertoire, encompassing works by composers such as Johann Strauss II, Franz Lehár, and Emmerich Kálmán. Their style is characterized by vibrant orchestral arrangements, a focus on melodic clarity, and a tradition of interpreting both classic and contemporary operetta pieces.

Kraftwerk Mitte is a former coal-fired power station situated on the Elbe River in Dresden. Originally constructed between 1967 and 1975, it ceased operation in 1994. Subsequently, the building underwent extensive renovation and repurposing to become a cultural and event venue. The space retains much of its industrial architecture – including large turbine halls and distinctive chimneys – providing a unique atmosphere for performances. It now hosts a variety of events including concerts, exhibitions, and festivals. The building’s industrial heritage is often incorporated into artistic presentations held within its walls. It’s recognized as an example of industrial monument preservation combined with modern cultural usage within Dresden.
