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. Guild members have recently traveled to Santa Fe Opera where they experienced preparing and eating an authentic regional meal, visiting the Ghost Ranch and taking in the landscapes that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe, and dining with operatic stars Ailyn Perez and Soloman Howard. 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.
