Malta
Its collection of temples, ancient-walled towns and great fortresses give Malta its endearing, old-world charm, whilst a diverse selection of performance venues, from grand churches to pretty parks and gardens, provide adult groups with plenty of performance opportunities. Combine your stay with a day on Malta’s sister island of Gozo, which has an enchanting character all of its own.
New York
Explore the urban jungle that is New York, where the bright lights of Broadway pave the way to a concert tour with that extra bit of style.
