A journey through
Follow The Footsteps Of Verdi & Callas In Milan
The music of Giuseppe Verdi and the legendary voice of Maria Callas continue to resonate in the world’s greatest opera houses, defining the grandeur of classical music and the essence of Italian culture.
Milan was the city that nurtured their talent, witnessed their rise to fame, and became forever intertwined with their artistic legacy. This exclusive opera tour in Italy takes you through the places that shaped their lives, offering a glimpse into the world of two of opera’s most iconic figures.
Your journey begins in one of Milan’s most elegant residential districts, where Maria Callas once lived with her husband, Giovanni Battista Meneghini, in the 1950s. As you walk the same streets where she once strolled, the echoes of her unmistakable voice will accompany you through the luxury avenues near City Life.
The tour continues to Piazza Buonarroti, home to the prestigious Casa di Riposo per Musicisti, a retirement home for musicians founded by Giuseppe Verdi himself. Inside this historic building, you will admire Verdi’s final resting place, along with his personal honors, memorabilia, and the opulent rooms where artists who have devoted their lives to music still reside today.
Alongside our expert guide, you’ll uncover fascinating stories and little-known anecdotes about Verdi’s life and his immense impact on Italian opera.
As the tour progresses, we make our way to Santa Maria delle Grazie, a church of profound historical and architectural significance, designed by Bramante in the late 15th century. This was a spiritual sanctuary for Maria Callas, a place where she found solace and inspiration away from the grandeur of the stage.
To conclude this sophisticated opera tour in Italy, enjoy a refined aperitivo with a spectacular view overlooking this masterpiece of Milanese architecture—an experience as elegant and timeless as the artists it celebrates.
📌 Please note: This tour does not include a visit to Il cenacolo Vinciano.
