The Semperoper in Dresden is the opera house of the Saxon State Opera Dresden, which has a long historical tradition as the court and state opera of Saxony. The Semperoper is located on Theaterplatz in the historic city centre of Dresden near the River Elbe. It is named after its architect Gottfried Semper.
The Dresden Semperoper was originally built between 1838 and 1841. On 13 and 14 February 1945, the Semperoper fell victim to the bombing of Dresden. It was rebuilt from 1977 until 1985.
The King John Monument is a bronze equestrian statue of the Saxon King John on Dresden's Theatre Square, which was created by Johannes Schilling from 1882 and unveiled in 1889.
