Carl-Maria-von-Weber-Denkmal

Imagine standing here, surrounded by the rich tapestry of Dresden's history and art. Right in front of you is the monument to Carl Maria von Weber, the father of German Romantic opera. Not just a musical genius, he was also a passionate storyteller. Look to your left, and you'll see the magnificent Semperoper, a place Weber often visited. Did you know his operas were inspired by the fairy tales and legends he heard as a child? These stories came to life in his compositions, shaping an entire musical genre. Let your eyes wander and feel the magic that enveloped him, still alive here in Dresden today.
