It was wonderful to see the opera when it wasn't full. It was a special privilege to see the stage open. We also learned many interesting facts about the architecture. Photos only with photo pass!

To say it in advance: The tour was great. However, it did not take place on Monday as booked, but today (Tuesday, June 12) at 15:15. At the Semperoper yesterday they were surprised that we had a booking for Monday at 15:45, when the last tour took place at 15:15 due to the evening event. It is a mystery to me how something like this can happen, because the calendar of events has surely been known for months and it would only be logical to adapt your booking mask to this calendar of events. I would have expected you to inform me about this. Instead, we waited and I then tried to clarify the matter myself. In the end, a very nice member of staff took care of our problem and made it possible for us to take part in a guided tour today. In the interests of your customers and your own interests, I wish you better luck in the future. Yours sincerely B. Möller
