Kirker Holidays is an independent specialist tour operator and is part of the Kuoni UK Group.
Kirker’s range of music and opera holidays will appeal to those who either like to travel independently or prefer to join a small group of like-minded people in the company of a guest tour lecturer.
Each of our tours is carefully planned and researched so that we can offer our clients the most enjoyable performances given by the most distinguished musicians at the leading opera houses and Festivals throughout Europe and at home – the Schubertiade in Austria, the 12th Sibelius Festival in Finland and the Glyndebourne Touring Opera at Glyndebourne are just three of our special tours.
Kirker also plans and organises its own series of music holidays both on land and at sea. We engage the musicians and discuss all the music to be performed with them to ensure that the programmes are both original and stimulating. This year Exclusive Kirker Music Festivals include The 6th Kirker Ischia Music Festival, The Kirker Music Festival in Venice and The Kirker Music Festival in Bolton Abbey. Our programme for 2011 will also include music festivals in Cornwall, Alfriston and Suffolk.
Independent travellers will be able to enjoy choosing from a wide range of cities throughout Europe. The Kirker Concierge is here waiting to secure your tickets for the performances of your choice (and to book your post-opera dinner) so that you can be sure to enjoy your favourite singers and operas. The spectacular Arena in Verona, the Vienna State Opera, the Paris Opera, the three opera houses of Berlin and of course La Fenice, Venice and La Scala, Milan are our perennially popular destinations (opera programmes for these venues can be found here).
