Overview

Andrés Orozco-Estrada, born in Colombia and trained in Vienna, is one of the most sought-after conductors of his generation. Andrés Orozco-Estrada has been chief conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra since the 2014/15 season. At the same time, he took on the position of Music Director at the Houston Symphony. The London Philharmonic Orchestra also appointed him principal guest conductor in September 2015.

He first attracted international attention in 2004 when he stepped in for the Tonkunstler Orchestra at the Vienna Music Association - celebrated by the press as the “Miracle of Vienna”. Numerous engagements with international orchestras followed, as well as his appointment as chief conductor of the Tonkunstler Orchestra, with whom he worked very successfully from 2009 to 2015. From 2009 to 2013 he was also chief conductor of the Basque National Orchestra.

Regular re-invitations led to closer collaboration with orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome and the Orchester National de France. Orozco-Estrada has made guest appearances with, among others, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the NDR and WDR symphony orchestras, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Stockholm and the Oslo Philharmonic. Important debuts have recently taken him to the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, the Pittsburgh Symphony, Cleveland and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Andrés Orozco-Estrada made his debut at the Staatskapelle podium in 2016 at the ZDF Advent concert. In the 2021/22 season he was chief conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.

Venue Info

Semperoper Dresden - Dresden
Location   Theaterplatz 2

Not only one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world, the Semperoper is renowned both in Germany and abroad for the brilliant star-studded performances by Saxon State Opera as well as numerous international guest artists.

This is the home of the Staatskapelle Dresden, an orchestra which looks back on 460 years of uninterrupted music-making. The State Opera Chorus was founded by Carl Maria von Weber in 1817. Operatic history has been written here, with the Semperoper playing host to numerous important premieres, such as Richard Wagner’s "Rienzi", "Der fliegende Holländer" and "Tannhäuser". There is also an indissoluble link to Richard Strauss, nine of whose 15 operas were premiered in Dresden, including "Salome", "Der Rosenkavalier" and "Elektra". The small venue Semper Zwei provides space for diverse forms of music theatre as well as theatrical experiments, and is also the venue for performances of Semperoper Junge Szene.

The magnificent Semperoper dominates the Theaterplatz be-side the river Elbe, forming the centrepiece of the historic old city. The original building opened its doors in 1841, constructed to a design by Gottfried Semper which combined a late Classical style with Renaissance elements. Following a devastating fire in 1869, the citizens of Dresden immediately set about rebuilding their beloved opera house. This was completed in 1878, also to a design by Semper. In 1945, during the final months of World War II, the Semperoper was once again razed to the ground.

After a second reconstruction was successfully completed in 1985, the reopening of one of Europe’s most beautiful opera houses was celebrated with a performance of Carl Maria von Weber’s "Freischütz".
The dazzling interiors were painstakingly reconstructed by local craftsmen and artists according to original plans, with state-of-the art stage machinery and technical fittings in the auditorium. A modern annex was added to house the administrative offices and rehearsal rooms. Internationally renowned for its brilliant acoustics and incomparable performances, audiences from around the world continue to flock here to enjoy unforgettable experiences at the Semperoper Dresden.
