On July 27, Thursday afternoon, you'll be whisked away from New York to arrive in Munich the following morning, where you'll be staying at the sophisticated Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, the city's leading hotel. A morning tour of the elegant Bavarian capital will start your Saturday and a performance of Janacek's "Katja Kabanova" then dinner at the popular Spatenhaus an der Oper will conclude the day.

On Sunday, you'll enjoy a guided walking tour of the former city palace, the Residenz, and visit the grand Cuivillies Theatre. By night, you'll bask in the Mozart classic "Le Nozze di Figaro" at the Bavarian State Opera. The next day brings an array of European art when you visit the Alte Pinakothek, one of the most important and fascinating art museums. That evening, Wagner's work will grace your ears with the opera, "Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg."

Tuesday morning you'll be transported by private coach to Salzburg. You'll begin the new month at the Crowne Plaza Salzburg Hotel Pitter, set nearby the Salzach River and the beautiful Mirabell Garden.

Later on that evening, you will relish Gluck's "Iphigenie en Tauride" to be sung in French.

The famous Hellbrunn Castle will be the onset of your Thursday where you will visit its fanciful gardens and playful fountains, and behold its signature trompe l'oeil decorations.
