The travel layer
A performance is the heart of the evening. Everything around it — where you stay, how you get there, what you discover along the way — is now bundled on every performance page and in our city trip guides, curated specifically for ballet and opera-goers.
Accommodation
Hotel searches near the great opera houses and ballet theatres, pre-dated to the run you are booking. Every performance and trip page links straight into a stay that matches the curtain times — so the evening does not end when the curtain falls.
Backstage & Tours
Tours, museums and cultural experiences in each performance city — the daytime around the evening. Surfaced through GetYourGuide and Tiqets, filtered by the city you are travelling to.
Travel
Flight searches to the cities where the season’s premieres take the stage — London, Paris, Vienna, Milan, New York, Tokyo — dated to the performance run, so you build the trip around the curtain, not the airline schedule.
Rail & Transfers
Rail between the European houses and a driver waiting at the airport — the connective tissue of an opera itinerary. Trains through Trainline, arrivals through Welcome Pickups, both matched to your destination city.
Travel eSIM
A travel eSIM for the destination country, installed before you leave home — tickets on your phone at the door, the curtain-call photograph shared before the applause ends. Through Airalo.
Our vision
The full journey, not just the ticket.
We believe attending the ballet or opera should be effortless from the first search to the final bow. Curated hotels, tours, and flights now sit alongside every performance listing — so you can plan an entire trip from a single calendar. We only surface services we believe genuinely serve our audience.
A note on independence
première may earn a referral fee when you book accommodation, experiences, or travel through links on this site. This comes at no additional cost to you, and it helps us keep the calendar free, independent, and continually updated. We only surface services we believe genuinely serve our audience — the performance always comes first.
