Our opera tours include:

A series of outstanding performances, perhaps including the Royal Opera Company, English National Opera, the Vienna Staatsoper or the Berlin Komische Oper, the Opera de Paris, 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.

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

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

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, Berlin, Prague, Paris, Vienna, Salzburg Festival, Munich Festival and Verona Arena.
