Just added! Ballet and Art in Montreal April 2017

The ideal Tours en l'air trip for the working balletomane with only a weekend to spare! (But if you want to make it a long weekend, you could of course add an extra night's hotel.)

Enjoy the unique Tours en l'air ballet trip experience for much less than a trip to Europe or the US. 

Saturday April 29 - Sunday April 30
Montreal



The Marriage of Figaro (National Ballet of Ukraine live on tour)

A Midsummer Night's Dream (Balanchine, Paris Opera Ballet on Screen)
new production with costumes by Christian Lacroix

Marc Chagall, Final maquette for the mural at the Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center, New York: The Triumph of Music, 1966. Private collection.

 
Art Exhibition: Chagall: Colour and Music 

This large-scale multidisciplinary exhibition explores, for the first time, the importance of music for Marc Chagall (1887-1985). The exhibition presents 400 works – paintings, sculptures, maquettes, gouaches, stained glass windows, photographs, films, costumes and puppets – many of which are little known by the public.

The schedule would be like this (provisory at the moment)

Saturday afternoon: Arrive Montreal, check into Delta Hotel about 5 mins walk from theatre.  
Dinner at Place des Arts 
evening: Marriage of Figaro

Sunday morning: Brunch 
Noon: Paris Opera Ballet 

230 pm: guided tour of Chagall exhibit, which features some of his costume designs for ballets, plus an opportunity to see the paintings of the dome of the Paris Opera up close 
early evening : depart Montreal.
