Below: Gustav Klimt’s celebrated portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, “The Lever House, the Seagram Building, St Patrick’s Cathedral, the Woman in Gold” and centrepiece of the Neue Galerie General Electric Building and grand stores of 5th Avenue. After a welcome lunch, Clive guides us through tonight’s opera, Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Based on the legendary story of Don Juan, this classic of the Mozart canon blends the light-hearted comic opera with a work that is serious and introspective. Considered one the of the greatest operas, this new production by Tony-award winning director Ivo van Hove is an exciting new take and a perfect start to our operatic line-up. (B, L)

Performance details Venue: Metropolitan Opera Program: Mozart, Don Giovanni Performers: Ailyn Pérez (Donna Anna), Isabel Leonard (Donna Elvira), Hera Hyesang Park (Zerlina), Ben Bliss (Don Ottavio), Peter Mattei (Don Giovanni), Yannick Nézet-Séguin (conductor)

Sunday April 4 Neue Galerie & Central Park The Neue Galerie, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, was established by the art dealer Serge Sabarsky and the art-loving entrepreneur Ronald S Lauder. The collection focuses on early 20th-century painting and decorative arts from Vienna, and its centrepiece is Gustav Klimt’s portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer, subject of the recent film, The Woman in Gold. Our before-hours tour will also include an excellent visiting exhibition of early 20th-century art. This afternoon we stroll through Central Park, once dubbed ‘the largest work of art in New York’, for the remarkable landscaping by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted. Alternatively, you might like to catch a Sunday matinee performance at Carnegie Hall or a Broadway theatre.

Monday April 5 Downtown – Nabucco This morning Clive provides an analysis of Verdi’s early-career opera, for which Verdi himself remarked "this is the opera with which my artistic career really begins. And though I had many difficulties to fight against, it is certain that Nabucco was born under a lucky star". The remainder of the day is free to explore as you wish, or to take an optional guided visit with your tour leader to New York’s Downtown, to see the World Trade Center and 9/11 Memorial, Trinity Church, Woolworth Building, Wall Street and the Financial District. Elijah Moshinsky’s production of Nabucco is a sumptuous revival of this seminal Verdi work, inspired by the Jewish scriptures and taking place amidst the destruction of the first temple of Jerusalem. Oksana Dyka takes the lead in this production, a singer who has been receiving excellent reviews for her recent performances, with an impressive cast of supporting baritones and basses to deliver this stirring early masterpiece.

Tuesday April 6 Below: the extraordinary interior of the JP Morgan library

JP Morgan Library – Rusalka This morning we visit the magnificent collection of the JP Morgan Library. In 1903, banker JP Morgan commissioned Gilded Age architect Stanford White to design a Renaissance- style pavilion to hold his precious literary collection. Spending the equivalent of $900 million in today’s terms, Morgan acquired an unrivalled collection, ranging from ancient Mesopotamian tablets to illustrated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, some of the first and rarest printed books, music manuscripts and important documents of American history. After lunch in the Morgan restaurant, you’ll have the option to visit some other landmarks of Lower Midtown, including the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station with your tour manager. In the early evening Clive does an introductory lecture to tonight’s much- anticipated performance of Rusalka. Exquisite Sonya Yoncheva stars as the water sprite who yearns to become human in order to find love—singing the sublime Song to the Moon in the process. This production by Mary Zimmerman excellently pairs Yoncheva with Piotr Beczała, conducted by Jakub Hrůša in his Metropolitan Opera debut. (B, L)

There will be time to visit the Whitney Museum of American Art, housed in a Renzo Piano building, and stroll the High Line from 15th to 30th streets. Tonight we break from the opera and visit the world-famous Carnegie Hall for a concert with iconic German singer and actress Ute Lemper. Accompanied by an instrumental ensemble, Lemper’s Songs for Eternity provide an inspiring, defiant and life-affirming repertoire sung in Yiddish, as part of Carnegie Hall’s series Voices of Hope. (B)

Performance details Venue: Carnegie Hall Program: Songs for Eternity Performers: Ute Lemper

One of the most successful contemporary operas, this modern classic is also being staged by the daring Ivo van Hove this season. The incredible Joyce DiDonato stars as Sister Helen Prejean, with the opera based on her memoir about her fight for the soul of a condemned murderer, in a performance that is sure to be provoking and inspiring in equal measure. (B)

Performance details Venue: Metropolitan Opera Program: Heggie, Dead Man Walking Performers: Joyce DiDonato (Sister Helen Prejean), Latonia Moore (Sister Rose), Etienne Dupuis (Joseph de Rocher), Yannick Nézet-Séguin (conductor)

Friday April 9 MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, located a few steps from our hotel, contains a collection of European and American art from the 1880s to the present day and has had an immense influence on our understanding of modern art. A museum lecturer takes us through the highlights of the permanent collection in the hour before MoMA opens its doors to the public. After our tour, the remainder of the day is free to enjoy the museum. We celebrate our visit with lunch at The Modern, the Michelin two-star restaurant within the museum. (B, L) Saturday April 10 The Frick Collection – Romeo et Juliette This morning we visit the Frick Collection in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. More than any other small museum, The Frick epitomises the wealth and refinement of America’s super- wealthy in the golden age of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pittsburgh coal and steel baron Henry Clay Frick was a complex man – ruthless in business yet with impeccable taste in painting and decorative arts. European masterpieces from the Renaissance to the 19th century vie for our attention with superlative decorative arts and will be housed in the Met Breuer gallery space while the Frick Mansion undergoes renovation in 2021. The rest of the day is free. In the evening Clive takes us through the Gounod classic Roméo et Juliette before returning to the Met Opera to see radiant soprano Nadine Sierra make her Met role debut as the effervescent Juliette, opposite tenor Benjamin Bernheim, in his highly anticipated Met debut, as the ardent Roméo. Combined with the dramatic new staging by Bartlett Sher, this promises to be one of the star pairings of the season. (B)

Sunday April 11 Sunday in Brooklyn Although it lies just across the East River, Brooklyn was for centuries an independent city and it still maintains a distinctive identity. We escape Manhattan today, spending the morning exploring the historic precincts of Brooklyn Heights and Park Slopes and, weather permitting, taking a stroll in Prospect Park. We then head to DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) for lunch in a local restaurant. In the afternoon we’ll visit the excellent but sometimes overlooked Brooklyn Museum, one of the more innovative art collections in the city, before heading home, with the option to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. (B, L)

Monday April 12 The Metropolitan Museum This morning has been set aside to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose 54 departments contain paintings, decorative arts and artefacts from all corners of the globe, covering more than 3,000 years of human history. Rather than trying to cover the whole collection, our visit will focus on one or two departments and a selection of the special exhibitions that are showing. We begin at The Cloisters, the Met’s extraordinary medieval collection, housed in a monastery-like building on the northern tip of Manhattan, overlooking the Hudson River. After driving back through Harlem, we spend the rest of the day at the main campus on Fifth Avenue. The evening is free. (B) Tuesday April 13 Day at leisure – La Bohème This morning Clive gives his final lecture, while the remainder of the day is free to relax or undertake individual sightseeing, as well as to fit in any last-minute shopping. This evening we enjoy a farewell dinner at the Metropolitan Opera’s famous Grand Tier restaurant. The tour closes with Puccini’s La Bohème, in Franco Zeffirelli’s iconic and much-loved staging of the world’s most popular opera. A staple of the Metropolitan Opera’s season, this grand and sumptuous production should provide a fitting reminder of just why the Metropolitan Opera is regarded by many as the world’s greatest house. (B, D)

Performance details Venue: Metropolitan Opera Program: Puccini, La Bohème Performers: Angel Blue (Mimi), Matthew Polenzani (Rodolfo), Gabrielle Reyes (Musetta), Russell Braun (Marcello), Marco Armiliato (conductor)
