Opera: Il Trovatore (The Troubadour)
by Giuseppe Verdi
La Scala, Milan
The Package
The highlight of our 3 day / 2 nights Milan music trip is a visit to the Teatro alla Scala to see a magnificient performance in a world famous environment with global stars.
The opera Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi is divided into 4 acts and each act in two scenes. Il Trovatore or Troubadour, as it is called in English, premiered in 1853 in Rome. The story is about a fellow in love singing self-composed lyrics waiting for the appearance of his dream lady on the balcony above. You can expect beautiful arias from the four main singers. A full orchestra and a chorus add to the overall experience. The lyrics will be displayed in front of you in Italian or English as you select.
The opera has a running time of 2 hours 55 minutes intermission included. During the break you will be able to enjoy a Spumante in the exclusive Toscanini Foyer.
The 3 day city trip includes the hotel in your selected category, a gourmet dinner on the evening of the first day, a private walking tour of the city with a guide in your language, a visit to the La Scala Museum, premium tickets for the selected event at the Teatro alla Scala, and an aperitif before the performance. The schedule and program have been well accepted by our clients and we receive many compliments. However, should you wish to adjust the program, to maybe have a different private sightseeing tour or rather spend the day shopping, add an excursion to Lago di Como, an excursion to Cremona to the Stradivari Museum, then please let us know. The itinerary can be customized to your needs.
