[2] The Theaterplatz is the place in front of the Dresden Semperoper, the former court theater; its name is also derived from this.

Major tourist destinations in the Old Town such as Green Vault, Neumarkt with the Church of Our Lady, Semper Opera House are located in the immediate vicinity or within walking distance.

In the southeast the Sophienstraße with the driveway to the Augustus Bridge separates the Italian village of the Dresden Cathedral.

A small alley separates the church from Dresden Castle which has been widely expanded and redesigned.

In the northwest then closes the most famous work of Gottfried Semper: The Semperoper - which is now the third building in this place.
