The Package
Music trip to Milan for 3 days / 2 nights with exclusive program. The highlight is a visit to the famous Teatro alla Scala on the second evening to experience a magnificent performance in a world-famous environment with global stars.
The opera Tannhäuser was first performend in 1845 in Dresden, Germany. It is structured in 3 acts with lyrics in German. The story is related to the Wartburg song contest. It is about the struggle between holy and worldly love and salvation through true love. With Albrecht Dohmen as Hermann you will meet a world-class bass baritone. With his voice he has conquered all the stages of name and rank in the world. We will meet with Peter Seiffert as Tannhäuser, known as a Wagnerian star tenor.
The full orchestra will be there as well. The lyrics of the opera are displayed in original language (German) and in English. The performance takes 4 hours 15 minutes, intermissions included. With your premium tickets, you can access the Toscanini Foyer to enjoy a Spumante in the intermission and to see and be seen. With a total time over 4 hours the refreshments are for sure welcome.
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.
