Enjoy opera in Bournemouth
On this four-night special interest holiday, you are invited to immerse yourself in the drama, power and emotion of operatic music, performed by Welsh National Opera. Founded in 1943, the group’s objective remains unchanged: to apply the singing talent associated with Wales, the ‘Island of Song’, to operatic masterpieces and treat audiences around the world to truly special musical performances.
During your stay at Bournemouth’s Hermitage Hotel (4Q), you will enjoy two operatic performances - Goethe’s Faust and Il Trovatore, written by Giuseppe Verdi. Before each performance, performed at the Mayflower Theatre, your expert hosts Matthew Craven and Judith Buckle will provide a captivating talk on the musical intricacies and history of the pieces. Also included is an opportunity to visit the Russell-Cotes Museum, located on Bournemouth’s East Cliff and providing an in-depth insight into a private Victorian collection.
