Art, Architecture & Opera: Autumn in Chicago (October 10-15, 2010)

Take off for a 6-day/5-night journey to enjoy an enchanting autumn in the jewel of the Midwest!  Enjoy the leaves turning to gold, rust and burgundy in “the birthplace of the skyscraper” – Chicago! Known for both historic and modern high-rises, Chicago also sports countless other gems which we will explore on three guided architectural tours including the exploration of Millennium Park, visits of Masters Highlights (such as Mies van der Rohe’s IIT campus and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House) and Tiffany Treasures, stunning art-glass and mosaic installations.  Visit two of the city’s world-famous museums on private guided visits of French Impressionism at the Art Institute and of a special exhibit on Alexander Calder at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

On two evenings, attend the renowned Lyric Opera of Chicago. In an art deco theater, itself a masterpiece, Lyric Opera has a rich history of presenting top international singers & directors and playing to sold-out out houses throughout the season. Our operas promise to be musically gorgeous and dramatically riveting – a new production of Verdi’s Macbeth starring Thomas Hampson and Nadja Michael and a revival of Bizet’s Carmen with Kate Aldrich, Yonghoon Lee and Kyle Ketelsen. The operas will be enriched with private pre-performance lectures by popular Bay Area opera instructor James Sokol. Experience Chicago’s culinary treats at a Welcome Lunch, a Pre-Opera Dinner and a Farewell Dinner. Plus, enjoy free time or join in our special Optional Activities, including a 1) Chic Chicago Dinner, 2) guided Architectural River Cruise, 3) Historic Hotel High Tea, and 4) Magnificent Mile Lunch!  This blend of amazing architecture, interesting art, fantastic food & outstanding opera creates one of our most exciting trips. Don’t miss the fun!  Reserve your space today!
