Sarasota Opera - March 23 - 27, 2012

Incredible Price at ca. $1,700; this covers:

Round trip air Albany/Tampa
Bus transportation to and from airport; daily transportation to opera house
Optional day trip to new DALI MUSEUM, and BARNUM MUSEUM. (Entrance fee not included as this trip will be as elected by each person)
1st Class Hotel Accommodations (continental breakfast included)

FRIDAY March 23 Fly

Sat. Eve. CARMEN (Bizet)
SUN. Mat. March 25 OTELLO (Verdi)
MON. March 26 Day trip to DALI & BARNUM (optional)
TUE. March 27 Flight back to Albany

I am estimating the final payment, which will include opera tickets and ancillary expenses to be approximately $800, which will put the trip cost around $1700 – give or take a little.

If you are placed on the wait list, I will return your check immediately. There is a slim possibility of adding a few people, but no guarantee. It is a difficult time for flying to Florida and high season in Sarasota.
PLEASE share with friends who don’t use email. Not sufficient turn-around time for regular mailing.
