Sylvia,

Mid-Winter Christmas 2023

“This was my first trip with Operatunity, and it was wonderful from start to finish. The organisation was faultless and the music, outings, great fun. I hope everyone at Operatunity realises how important events like this are to solo travellers like me. This was my first travel experience with Operatunity, but it won’t be my last.” 

Brenda,

Italy 2023

“The attention to detail, private concerts we attended, organisation of each day’s activities, our gluten free meals & care of us all was fantastic. I could not be happier with the 5 weeks away & our experiences & the fun we had. They will last me a lifetime. I think Mozart’s Requiem was the absolute highlight for me, followed closely by the private concert at Pavarotti’s house & the Vivaldi concert.” 

Janne,

Egypt 2024

“Thank you for the exceptional planning, attention to detail, care and consideration on the Egypt trip. You’d thought of absolutely everything and have a wonderful local team of like-minded people as guides and ‘chaperones’. I learned so much about Egypt and also about myself in the process. It was very profound and a perfect way to celebrate my retirement from work! I’ll be singing Operatunity’s praises.”
