Music, Opera & Ballet tours

Our music, opera and ballet tours offer access to the world’s greatest venues, pre-existing festivals and musical programmes. We plan meticulously so that you can relax and enjoy our trademark experience of top-category seats, the companionship of fellow music-lovers and lectures from leaders in their field. We offer a range of musical experiences, from the intimate chamber music and Lieder of a Schubertiade, to spectacular opera at La Scala, and the annual International Beethoven Festival in Bonn, the composer's native city.

On a grander scale, Martin Randall Festivals feature world-class performers in the finest and most historically apt venues. The cornerstone of every festival is the union of music and place, in glorious destinations such as Venice, and in the form of journeys – along the Rhine and Danube, or through central Germany in the footsteps of J.S. Bach. They are organised and operated solely by MRT and are exclusive to our clients.

Finally, our Chamber Music Breaks in the UK offer the opportunity to hear – up-close – chamber music performed by leading ensembles and solo artists, all the while staying in comfort at famous and well-run hotels.

World-class music in glorious venues

We offer musical experiences that range from private and intimate chamber music events to large-scale operas and major international festivals. We enjoy performances by world-renowned soloists, ensembles, and orchestras at some of the world’s most prestigious venues.

All of our tours and festivals are accompanied by leading musicologists, whose knowledge and commentary elevate each performance.

" Richard Wigmore transformed the experience for me – giving depth to my shallow knowledge. There was no musical subject on which he was unable to converse; he made his expertise accessible with enormous fluency and enthusiasm. His lectures flashed by, full of insights and jokes in equal measure. He was always friendly, cheerful and approachable. " Mozart in Salzburg - The annual winter festival

" The festival was full of interest. We are so impressed with the planning and organisation – it is almost worth going on your tours for that alone! We can't speak highly enough of the team. " Opera in Sicily - Five performances in historic theatres in beautiful Baroque cities

" First class musicians, lecturers, MRT staff, ship and travel arrangements. Nobody does it as well as MRT! " Music Along the Seine - Superb music in elegant châteaux and churches along France’s greatest river

" The tour exceeded our expectations and we are recommending MRT to our friends. " West Coast Architecture - A century of building in Arizona and California

" The music was phenomenal. First class. What a privilege to be able to hear such singing and playing in those beautiful rooms. It would be almost impossible to find anywhere else such a comprehensive presentation of Monteverdi’s music in such a short period of time, and certainly not in such glorious Renaissance rooms and buildings. " Monteverdi in Venice - His finest works, in glorious churches, great halls and palaces
