Opera is truly at the heart of the arts in Europe, with important opera companies in most major cities and exciting festivals across the continent, often in the most magical settings. Let us take your supporters on a journey of discovery.

Our opera and ballet tours include:

A series of outstanding performances, perhaps including the Vienna Staatsoper or the Opera de Paris, the Royal Opera Company, English National Opera, Berlin Komische Oper, depending on destination. Selections are made in consultation with the American client organisation and might include some more unexpected choices.

Meetings with major artists associated with the productions in our programmes: leading directors, conductors, composers, etc. and a round-up discussion with a major critic or opera specialist. For example, Stephane Lissner, director of the Aix-en-Provence Festival, is a recent guest speaker.

Unusual sightseeing opportunities, often in private houses or the less obvious public places. Gourmet experiences which show off the best modern cuisine with a real flavour of our destination.

Transportation to all events by private coach supplied by the best companies available.

Accommodation at good quality hotels located with a view to convenience for theatres and restaurants.

Value for money. At the end of each tour we ask our travellers whether they believe they received good value for money and in an overwhelming 95% of cases the answer is yes.

Our current opera destinations include London, Aix-en-Provence Festival, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg Festival, Munich Festival and Verona Arena.
