Recommended tour operator: Travel for the Arts



Travel for the Arts says
As leading specialists in musical travel, we can offer you the whole world of ballet, opera and classical music. Every year, we arrange numerous short breaks to the world’s greatest opera houses including the Berlin State Opera, the Met in New York (top centre) and Milan’s La Scala. You can also enjoy trips to the best ballet, classical music and opera festivals, including the Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago, Riga Opera Festival, Dubrovnik Summer Festival and the Havana Ballet Festival.
We are able to source top tickets - which are often sold out - for performances featuring the cream of the world’s musicians, singers and dancers. All performances, hotels and sightseeing excursions are carefully chosen to enhance the musical flavour of your experience.
Most of our holidays are four or five days in length; groups rarely exceed 25 and are accompanied by one of our knowledgeable tour managers. Independent travellers are also catered for through our a la carte service, with all elements of your trip tailored to suit your needs.
Operaphiles and balletomanes travel with us year after year because of our unrivalled experience and the chance to travel with like-minded people. Travel for the Arts is part of the Specialised Travel group and was founded in 1988 to arrange tours for the Friends of Covent Garden.
