Dinner or opera supper with wine on four nights
Staying at the heart of Paris in the luxurious Hotel Edouard VII close to Place de l’Opera we enjoy three nights of contrasting opera. Debussy’s sensuous love story in a production at the Theâtre des Champs Elysees, Wagner’s early romantic masterpiece, The Flying Dutchman, and Donizetti’s sparkling, tender comedy on stage at the Opera Bastille.
Optional visits to the Musee Carnavalet and the Musee de la Vie Romantique.
The major boutiques are close to the Hotel including the Galeries Lafayette.
The tour begins at the hotel allowing independent travel. We are happy to assist with travel arrangements and Eurostar bookings. The tour can be extended by an extra night for those wishing to come early or stay later.
Day 1
We meet at the Hotel which is very close to the Opera Garnier. We meet for welcome drinks and an early supper followed by an introduction to Debussy’s Pelleas et Melisande before the performance
