The Lead Story:

The Mozart Anniversary Tour-May 2006

Rhapsody Tours is proud to introduce our Mozart Anniversary - 2006 escorted tour to Munich, Augsburg, Salzburg and Vienna starting May 1 through 11, 2006.  For those wanting to continue the experience as we travel on-ward from Vienna to Prague, there is an optional 5 day add-on including 4 nights in the beautiful "City of 100 Spires", where Mozart introduced some of his most famous works.

Imagine yourself back to the days of 1787 when
Mozart's "Don Giovanni" was first being performed
in Prague's Theatre of Estates. That's where you'll
be, if you take the Prague add-on package. You'll
be thrilled by another of his most famous pieces,
the "Magic Flute", in the same Theatre! 

Imagine yourself being swept away by stirring renditions of Mozart's best orchestral works performed by the Mozarteum Orchestra in fabulous Salzburg, or enjoying a sampling of Mozart's works played exquisitely by a string ensemble while enjoying a wonderful five-course dinner in a historic setting dating back many hundreds of years! 

Our escorted tour will provide a very unique insight into the genius of Mozart during the 250th Anniversary of his birth (January 27, 1756, in Salzburg).  A number of special Mozart performances have been carefully built into the tour to ensure a full experience of the best of Mozart.  It will be truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Making the overall experience even more wonderful, Rhapsody Tours has invited Stephanie Cowell to be our special tour guest.
Stephanie is a former opera singer and now a very well respected author of several historical and literary works, including the current international best seller "Marrying Mozart". To read more about Stephanie, click below on "Special Tour Guest".
