Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden live in Dresden

Experience Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden live on March 27th

Orchester der Staatsoperette Dresden, the orchestra of the Dresden State Operetta, will perform a concert at Kraftwerk Mitte in Dresden on March 27, 2027. The orchestra specializes in the performance of operetta, musical theatre, and light classical music, with a strong focus on the Viennese tradition – composers such as Johann Strauss Jr., Franz Lehár, and Emmerich Kálmán feature prominently in their repertoire. They are known for their lively interpretations and technically proficient performances within this genre.

Kraftwerk Mitte is a former coal-fired power station located in Dresden’s Wilsdruffer Vorstadt district. Originally constructed between 1967 and 1979, it represents a significant example of East German industrial architecture. Following its decommissioning in 1994, the building remained unused for some time before undergoing extensive renovation and repurposing. It has since been transformed into a multi-functional event space hosting concerts, exhibitions, and other cultural events. The building retains many of its original industrial features, offering a distinctive atmosphere for performances. Its large turbine hall is particularly noted for its acoustics and impressive scale.
