The Collection - Music & Opera Tour
Did you know an Italian monk invented the musical scale? We’re sure you know that Opera was invented in Italy. Unquestionably, Italy has a rich musical heritage going back many centuries. A trip to Italy to see the sights, sample the cuisine, enjoy the tremendous shopping, is all good, but combine it with attending concerts and performances in unique and dramatic settings, and you have the making of an unforgettable experience. Imagine attending a performance at legendary places like La Scala Opera house in Milano, or seeing Aida at Verona's ancient Roman coliseum. How about a symphony at the Caracalla Baths in Rome? Or a chamber music performance at Parma’s Opera house? Perhaps go into Tuscany, to see the home of Puccini. We have the expertise and contacts necessary to book the best performances and get the best seats.
