The Florentine Opera Company invites you to be transported to somewhere unique via our digital-only recital series Voyages, all from the comfort of your own home. See where our artists live, explore beautiful spaces, and enjoy a getaway wrapped around a performance.
Voyages offers three delightful international experiences in a historic library in Burgundy, France; a gorgeous manor in Tequila, Mexico (a UNESCO world heritage site); and a canal-side palazzo in Venice, Italy.
Florentine Artistic Advisor Francesco Milioto gives an overview of the Voyages:
Italy
Join us for a stroll through Venice with this group of Italian artists. Friends of Artistic Advisor Francesco Milioto explore the Venetian palazzo belonging to the Levi Foundation while performing some of the antique pieces held in their collection. Learn the history of the organization and the beautiful palazzo they call home. Consider the option of a paired meal to really revel in our Italian adventure from home.

Mexico
The sun-drenched, exuberant music of Mexico is featured in this program, coming to us from the UNESCO world heritage town of Tequila! Benito Rodriguez brings many musician friends along on this adventure, exploring Zarzuela to classical opera. Wander the streets of this picturesque town, whose growth was driven by Cuervo’s success. Perhaps a tequila tasting and great Mexican meal are in order.
