A gracious crew tends to all of your needs and assures that you will never forget such a rare experience that, truly, few people in the world have ever enjoyed.
Exclusive Access to the Royal Swedish Opera
Stockholm, Sweden
Since its first curtain call in 1773, the Royal Swedish Opera has taken centre stage in the world of arts. It was even immortalised in an opera by Giuseppe Verdi about the tragic assignation of King Gustav III whilst attending his masquerade ball 1782.
Your docent will guide you on an after-hours exploration through the classical building of red velvet, painted ceilings and a grand staircase that leads to the four-tiered auditorium that’s gloriously crowned with chandelier weighing two tonnes. Go behind-the-scenes into the royal apartments, the costume department, a blacksmith’s shop, and insights into props and the Prompter.
A mindful walk in the woods
The ultimate exploration is to experience a new destination in its purest and most natural form. So, with a nod to the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing”, we have prepared a collection of experiences designed to enhance your health with intimate connections to the natural world.
From the most far-flung forests to misty mountains to peaceful flower-filled fields, our eco-therapy experiences promise to support every aspect of your well-being.
