WCO Guild Travels
Travel the World with the Washington Concert Opera Guild
The Guild organizes trips to outstanding opera performances outside the D.C. area. These trips include informative tours that provide insights into the local art, food, and culture, behind-the-scenes experiences or meet-the-singers opportunities, and often visits to artists’ studios. Planning for opera companies to visit never stops!
Our first trip for the 2026–2027 season was just announced! Travel with us to Chicago October 27–31, 2026, to experience two operas with Lyric Opera of Chicago, including Omar and Don Giovanni, as well as Brahms’ Requiem at Chicago Symphony Center with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Other past trips have included visits to Pittsburgh Opera, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, San Francisco Opera, and Glimmerglass Opera. The Guild has thoroughly enjoyed traveling to Pesaro, Italy where they were in attendance at the Teatro Rossini and to Zurich, Switzerland where they supported beloved tenor Lawrence Brownlee in his concert performance of La sonnambula with South African soprano Pretty Yende.
