Ärzte-Concert in August of 2004: Fun on the Elb

    Ärzte-Concert
    by Antji
    Go to a Concert on the Elb in July or August. This picture was taken from the Ärzte Concert in August of 2004. We were outside of the concert and relaxed on the grass with thousand of other people who listened the music of this band. It was fun and we had this great background of the other side of the Elb. And it was a cheap possibilty instead of buying a ticket for this concert...
    Every year in July and August are the "Filmnaechte" on the Elb where you have such great concerts or you can watch open air movies.

    firework near the Kreuzkirche
    by Antji
    "Dresden Unity Night" is only one time every year. It?s mostly in october. There you can go in a lot?s of locations like bars with music, discos. You have to pay one time for all locations and get a ribbon on your hand and so you can go in all these locations in the Altstadt of Dresden. they are close by the Altmarkt.
    And the highlight of this night is the big firework on the Altmarkt! It? s beautiful!!
    On that way we have often fireworks on the weekends on the elb.

    disco look but have a warm jacket if you wanna move the locations. It´s cold in october in germany.

    This is the stage on the Elb where you can look at the Bands ( in this case the Ärzte - popular german band ) or where you can watch great movies open air on other days in July or August.

    Semper Opera and others: Classical Music

    Inside Semper Opera
    by german_eagle
    No matter if you are a lover of classical music or not - to attend an opera, ballet or concert at Semper Opera House is an unforgettable experience. You will be stunned by the decoration, the atmosphere and the music.

    It is difficult to get ticket for the opera! In case you are really a music lover, you might have a look at other locations, too:

    Schloss Albrechtsberg (fantastic ambience in the Crown's Hall!)
    Zwinger courtyard (open air, June - Sept)
    Kulturpalast
    churches (Kreuzkirche e.g.)

    These are only a few examples. There are some more, you may go to the "Ticketcentrale" in the Kulturpalast (Altmarkt square) and find out.

    Try to dress a bit upscale. Everyone knows (and accepts) that tourists cannot drag around Smoking and evening wardrobe, but try at least ...

    by german_eagle
    There are numerous theatres in Dresden - from the Classical Theatre to smaller theatres and cabarets.

    Here some examples:
    - Schauspielhaus (with several locations) www.schauspielhaus-dresden.de<br /> - Komödie Dresden www.komoedie-dresden.de
    - Theater Junge Generation www.tjg-dresden.de
    - Societaetstheater www.societaetstheater.de
    - Kabarett Herkuleskeule www.herkuleskeule.de
    - Theaterkahn www.theaterkahn-dresden.de

    Except Schauspielhaus you don't need to dress fancy. I would recommend to wear no sneakers, though.

    Semperoper: how to get a ticket

    Semperoper looks great during the day, especially when you climb up Hausmannsturm in the Schloss of Dresden.
    The opera looks even better in the evening and there is a counter inside the building, that will open 1 hour before the performance will start, and they will sell the rest-tickets.

    You may as well click on my link below and order your tickets well in advance.
    A ticket will of course give you also the opportunity to take pics inside of the Semperoper, BUT it might be the best, NOT to use a flash !!!

    In the Semperoper decent clothings are a must, although I am rather certain, nobody will care a lot about jeans, as long as they look decent.

    Places like this are not really "my cup of tea" BUT it is funny to take a look and to take photographs for VT : Der Knast / (the prison) is a place that I saw, when walking to the Pf...Molkerei in Bautzener Strasse.
    The outfit of the place sprang into my eyes and so I decided to go there with Andrey and Ingo the other day...

    ...BUT Ingo told me, that this place is getting quite rought later in the night, with strange people in leather clothings etc.

    You may take a look inside through the window and see that all the tables are surrounded by iron-fences.

    They open at 05.00p.m. and close again at 02.00a.m.
    It might be OK to have a beer there in the early afternoon, at 05.30p.m. I just saw 2 people sitting inside.
    It might be best to avoid the rough people who get there later !!
    Prices of a beer are around 2,70 € for a half litre.

    This was one of the nicest and coziest pubs I found in the Old Town of Dresden. It's all wood and a bit upscale but it's worth a splurge. There is a terrace on the roof if the weather is good and some tables out front too. The food sounded pretty expensive but I will admit I was drawn in by the advertising of a "zwickle bier" from Radeberger. This brewery is world renowned for its Pils and I had not heard of a zwickle from them until this day. It's an unfilterd version of the pils that retains a nice yeasty character. Very refreshing on a hot summer's day and worth paying a bit extra for as it's the only place outsde of Radeberg to serve it.

    The waiters wear black ties and stiff white shirts, but I got away with shorts on the terrace. ;)

    This is another funky little student's pub and I had the pleasure to meet up with VTer Antji again on a spring 2003 trip back to Saxony. This time I picked the place as Doreen had found one in the Neustadt that atypically has Belgian beers on offer. I wouldn't normally drink anything but German beer when there, but I had been in the country for quite a while and wanted something different. It's especially attractive as they cost a fraction of the US price (a Duvel cost only 2.50 Euros).

    A handy black bag comes in ....well, handy. ;) Thanks for the Duvel glass, Antji.
