Arguably Europe’s most cosmopolitan and chic city, Paris has long attracted visitors from all over the world. With an eclectic blend of timeless museums, spectacular architecture, French bistros and cutting-edge art galleries, it is a city that pulls you back time and time again.
Paris is undeniably passionate about performing arts and offers an exciting mix ranging from traditional opera to risqué cabaret and classic jazz to innovative theatre. With no less than three major opera houses including the Palais Garnier, Opéra Bastille and Théâtre du Châtelet, and a wonderful range of performances such as Carmen and Tosca, Paris is a magnificent city to enjoy an opera break.

Exceeded our expectations
KR - Milan Opera - October 2025
We had a great time thanks. Transfers were easy and the hotel very good. The highpoint was the La Scala theatre and Rigoletto performance. The seats could not have been better, and the performance was outstanding. We can't thank you enough for making everything hassle free and providing a trip which exceeded our expectations.
