Spend a Week at the Opera…

There is perhaps no better destination to further one’s appreciation for opera than in Italy, the land of its birth and, as some understandably argue, the place that still does opera best.  Taking as our guides four operatic giants – Rossini, Verdi, Bizet, and Puccini - this sojourn explores a specially chosen selection of live performances at three of the great Italian opera festivals and provides a week-long immersion in the fascinating world of opera.  Join us in Italy, surrounded by a most beautiful panorama of Mediterranean scenery, as we explore some of the greatest operas of all time.
