Discovering Stockholm is always a dazzling experience. Water is everywhere in the “Venice of the North”: built on fourteen islands in the heart of an archipelago of some 24,000 islands and islets, the Swedish capital breathes in tune with nature. You’ll have the chance to find out for yourself when you visit the Millesgarden Museum for a welcome “Light Lunch”. This delightful house, once owned by the sculptor (and Rodin pupil) Carl Milles, is the ideal place to acclimatise to Stockholm’s enveloping mildness. There are wonderful views from its open-air sculpture garden.
Private transfer to your hotel, Le Grand Hotel.

La Traviata is the story of a woman who chooses to follow her heart in a society ruled by convention. Since its premiere in Paris in 1852, it has become one of Verdi‘s most performed and best-loved works.
Verdi’s opera is performed here in the setting of the Royal Opera House in Stockholm with a predominantly Swedish cast, including the formidable Alfredo played by tenor Joel Annmo, and of course Violetta played by Ida Falk Winland. Ellen Lamm‘s staging offers a fresh and respectful vision of Violetta Valéry’s deeply moving story.
After the show, dinner in a gastronomic restaurant a few steps from the Opera.
Night at your hotel.
