TRAVEL: Get some culture with an opera break

Whether you are passionate about Opera or a curious novice, a night at the opera is highly recommended, the drama and music not to mention the surrounds of a grand opera house combine to create an unforgettable evening.
Therefore should you wish to do an escorted opera tour with like-minded companions or simply combine one night at the opera with a city break we can create this for you.
Destinations for you to discover and enjoy the opera, to mention a few are;
Prague – a wonderful destination having three theatres offering all year round performances and excellent value for money!
Milan – An orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim, the Teatro alla Scala is one of the most revered stages in the world of opera. Tickets here are very popular so early booking is advised.
Bordeaux – The Grand Theatre de Bordeaux, opened in 1780 is perhaps one of the most important opera houses in Europe.
Palermo – The Teatro Massimo is Italy’s largest opera house and one of Europe’s largest stages. After celebrating Wagner in 2013, Palermo devotes most of it’s new season to Italian operas.
Venice – Rebuilt most recently in 2003, Venice’s Teatro la Fenice has truly lived up to its moniker “the Phoenix” having returned from the ashes twice to its original 18th century glory.
Finally Vienna – Under the direction of Franz Welser-Most, the Vienna State Opera is not only renowned for quality, but it also offers one of the world’s busiest schedules with performances almost every evening from September through to June.
In all of the above cities we are able to book your hotel with transfers to the theatre and competitively priced tickets to the theatre of your choice. Some of the above hotels have special offers on throughout the year, in some cases, for example, four nights for the price of three.
This is yet another example for an autumn short break, the perfect time of year. As our summer fades, an escape to warmer climates becomes more appealing, a perfect opportunity to find some winter sunshine with a musical edge!
