Join us and RTÉ lyric fm’s Marty Whelan for the opera trip of a lifetime. On this this magical holiday, we'll celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Verona Arena Opera, explore the historic towns that hug the coast of Lake Garda and stroll through the quaint streets and squares, all set in the tranquil surroundings of blue waters and towering mountains. We’ll experience an unforgettable and spell bounding performance of Verdi's Aida at the Arena di Verona. First performed in 1891, this classic opera is about choosing between love and loyalty; the opera’s music is full of Italianate melody. We’ll take a guided boat trip of Lake Garda to view some of the beautiful sites and places of interest on the lake, including stops in the towns of Malcesine and Limone. With the serene waters of Lake Garda and the classic Italian romance of Venice, this trip to Italy is the perfect combination of opera, culture and history.
You will be met on arrival at your destination airport and transferred to your accommodation. You will be accompanied on all included excursions by your Travel Department guide. Your expert local guide is also available to give you tips and advice on any aspect of your holiday.
