Guest Testimonials

The Verdi Festival 2023 was a lovely tour. I looked at other Italy tours and selected HAT because it had the variety of opera houses and city tours but did not have the frenetic pace of similar tours. I especially liked the time "At Leisure" after having a tour of the city so I could explore and return to areas of personal interest on my own and at my own pace. I also liked the restaurants selected which were excellent but I also had the option to return to the same restaurant or strike out on my own which I did both and it made my trip so much more interesting. Our tour manager was exceptional and very knowledgeable and helpful.

Richard Wagner The Visionary Composer Who Changed Opera Forever

Richard Wagner was more than a composer - he was a force of nature who reshaped the very idea of what opera could be. Born in Leipzig in 1813, Wagner defied convention at every turn, fusing myth, music, poetry, and staging into something unprecedented.
