For more than twenty-five years, we have offered an annual four-night visit to the prestigious Salzburg Easter Festival encompassing the complete four-performance cycle of opera and concerts. For 2027, the revered Berlin Philharmonic continues a five-year Festival residence under Music Director Kyrill Petrenko. We have chosen four thrilling evening programs to highlight our visit next spring, each of which will engage the Berlin Philharmonic. We will include the new production of Wagner’s Die Walküre (showcasing Lisa Davidsen’s role debut as Brünnhilde); an unprecedented pair of choral concerts – Handel’s Messiah and Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis; and an Orchestra Concert of Debussy, Prokofiev and Mussorgsky.

As always, we have combined Salzburg with a second city where the opera program is the most enticing of the season. For the third consecutive year, the Bavarian State Opera in nearby Munich (a two-hour bus ride) offers a trio of superior performances for three nights prior to Salzburg. Our Tour will begin with Verdi’s Rigoletto, a new production of Tchaikovsky’s seldom-encountered Mazeppa, and Wagner’s ‘Easter Festival’ music drama, Parsifal.

MUNICH, March 23rd – 25th

Accommodations for three nights at the deluxe Vier Jahreszeiten (‘Four Seasons’) Hotel, with a grand European buffet breakfast included. The Vier Jahreszeiten ranks as Munich’s finest, offering a wide variety of services in an old-fashioned Bavarian atmosphere. The hotel’s cuisine is renowned throughout Europe, and an indoor pool is situated on the penthouse floor with an open balcony. The ideal location is only two blocks from the opera house and a short walk from the central Marienplatz shopping area.

SALZBURG: March 26th – 29th

Our accommodations in Salzburg are for four nights (with a generous buffet breakfast) at the  Imlauer Pitter Hotel, centrally located near the Mirabel Gardens and a short walk from the Mozarteum. The Pitter retains the classic Austrian atmosphere that attracts local residents to its several well-known dining areas. Both the Rainerstube Keller and the gourmet Imlauer Restaurant serve regional menus before and after the Festival performances, and the Plaza Bar is a popular gathering spot for international visitors. The top floor offers the Sky Restaurant Imlauer for breakfast with a beautiful view over Salzburg, and a fitness, sauna and relaxation area.
