Guest Testimonials

Travelling with H.A.T. tours is a feast for the senses, the mind, the heart. They plan the trips to include art, literature, food, culture and of course opera! Our trip this fall to Scandinavia and Russia was amazing. Images float into my mind giving me joy at such odd moments. Meeting new friends, eating dinner by a canal wrapped in a blanket, getting lost in the Hermitage, watching the people, being challenged by creative opera productions, thinking in a new way about the cultural distinctions among us. Now I must have candles lit for dinner, eat herring, watch for exibits by Max Ernst and plan more trips. (Scandinavia and Russia)

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.
