Opera Tailor Made breaks

La Fenice, Venice; La Scala, Milan; Verona and Puccini Festivals & the Staatoper Vienna

Arblaster & Clarke offer tailor made Opera breaks to the heart of Italian Opera. These Opera holidays offer the best seats to the Opera houses of La Fenice, Venice and La Scala, Milan.

Normally it is performances of great operas by Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti and Bellini that our clients want to see, especially when there is a great cast. We can get tickets to these Operas long before the tickets have gone on sale to the general public, and sometimes when they appear to be ‘sold out’, we can still obtain the tickets for you.

As well as La Fenice and La Scala we also feature select operatic performances at Teatro dell’ Opera, Rome; San Carlo, Naples; Teatro Communale, Florence; Carlo Felice, Genoa and the Staatsoper and Volksoper of Vienna. It is La Fenice and La Scala where so many of the great operas were first played which are icons for opera lovers. However the Vienna StaatsOper with its classic stagings, superb casts and illustrious history should not be overlooked.

The festivals that we offer are Verona in the Roman arena; the Puccini Festival in Tuscany at Torre del Lago near Lucca and the Opera festival of Rome in the Baths of Caracalla (Terme di Caracalla).

Opera Packages available from Arblaster & Clarke include: a central 4* hotel (depending on the city), First Class tickets to a performance, the opportunity to request extra tickets, an information booklet from first hand experience of twenty years and Arblaster & Clarke’s restaurant notes and Opera synopsis.

Arblaster & Clarke are a fully bonded and licensed tour operator and would be delighted to assist you with your bespoke holiday itinerary, however, as we are not a visit bookings agency we are unable to assist with requests that do not include accomodation.

We also offer escorted OPERA & WINE tours to Verona, the Puccini Festival, Milan, Vienna and Rome.

Client Comments

"This is really the first opportunity I have had to thank you for the Venice arrangements for the weekend. Everything went smoothly. The water-taxi was marvellous. It was a very nice hotel, with helpful staff. The ticket for the opera was a very good one."
