For opera lovers, there is nothing quite like hearing a great performance in the very place where history was made. The thrill of a live performance is amplified when it unfolds in legendary venues such as La Scala in Milan, Covent Garden in London, or beneath the summer skies at Glyndebourne. These experiences are not just about the music but about stepping into a tradition that has shaped culture for centuries. At Encore Experiences, we believe opera travel should reflect the artistry of the stage itself. That means creating journeys that are carefully tailored, elevated, and deeply personal. Our Opera Appreciation Tours are not pre-packaged products but handcrafted itineraries that combine the best seats, backstage access, cultural encounters, and curated dining and accommodations. Every detail is designed to immerse you in the beauty and heritage of opera in a way that feels authentic and unforgettable. Your Perfect Opera Itinerary No two travelers experience opera in the same way. Some prefer an elegant evening at Glyndebourne surrounded by manicured gardens, while others dream of hearing Verdi in Milan or exploring the craftsmanship of Stradivarius violins in Cremona. With Encore Experiences, every journey begins with your vision. We combine privileged access to world-renowned houses with cultural and culinary experiences that honor the artistry of opera itself. Our team handles every detail, from securing premium seats to arranging backstage tours, private recitals, and exclusive cultural encounters. We select accommodations that reflect the refinement of the program and ensure that every moment of your journey matches the elevated standard that Encore Experiences represents.
