Vienna Spring Highlights: May 18 - 26, 2026
Reprising our last two sold-out experiences, our most luxurious Tour in the spring of ‘26 will take us back to the European musical capital of Vienna for a full week. The program of four performances at the venerable Staatsoper and the additional highlight of the Verdi Requiem in the Musikverein will offer a musical week unmatched by any other city in the world this year. Only at the Staatsoper are we able to find the variety and quality of this program during the concise period of seven nights: Georges Bizet’s exotic romance, The Pearl Fishers; Tchaikovsky’s melodic Russian opera, Eugene Onegin; the Staatsoper’s acclaimed ballet version of Jules Massenet’s Manon; and – on our final night - Richard Wagner’s towering ‘Ring’ music-drama, Die Walküre. Our week will also include a thrilling Concert in the famously perfect acoustics of Vienna’s revered Musikverein. We will hear the Verdi Requiem performed by the Dresden Staatskapella Orchestra with Daniele Gatti conducting and a quartet of international opera stars.
Mid-May should prove to be idyllic spring weather for exploring Austria’s beautiful capital and for our planned Danube River excursion.
For all operas at the Staatsoper, the peerless Vienna Philharmonic will be in the pit. PERFORMANCES AT THE VIENNA STATE OPERA FEATURE SIMULTANEOUS ENGLISH TITLES. THE TITLES ARE SIMILAR TO THE MET’S, IN FRONT OF EACH SEAT RATHER THAN OVER THE STAGE.
Accommodations for seven nights, with a lavish buffet breakfast included at the deluxe Sacher Hotel, among a handful of Europe’s finest properties by virtue of the full personal service and the old-world charm of the bedrooms and public spaces. Both the main restaurant and the Café boast superb cuisine, and the concierge has earned an enviable reputation for arranging any independent activities. Your week in Vienna will be greatly enhanced by the comfort of staying in this famous hotel. If you wish to arrive a day ahead to adjust to the time change, we would be happy to reserve your room for the early night of May 17th. You should inform us NOW if you do want the early night during the Sacher’s busy peak season.
