Music & Opera in New York

Music & Opera in New York Overview

Take in high calibre performances at the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall and explore New York's world famous sites

Newly updated for 2025, we are delighted to announce the return of one of our most popular music tours. For lovers of opera and classical music, there is nothing quite like the experience of live performances in New York’s world famous venues. Featuring a carefully chosen selection of operas and concerts courtesy of world class instrumentalists, conductors and singers, our tour will provide an engrossing introduction to the city’s musical heritage, interspersed with explorations of its architectural, artistic and political history. Tour Director Professor Ashley Solomon, FRAM, FRCM, is Chair and Head of Historical Performance at the Royal College of Music and Director of Baroque ensemble Florilegium. As a result of his commitment to editing and performing music from the Mission Churches of Chiquitos and Moxos Indians in Bolivia, Ashley was the first European to be awarded the coveted Hans Roth Prize in 2008. He is looking forward to taking an ACE group to experience the best classical music the city has to offer next spring.
