Glyndebourne Opera Festival, London & Sussex Gardens

It sounds confusing. And yet it fits together harmoniously - in both senses of the word - as only music can: From the baroque sounds of Handel to the life of guitarist legend Jimmy Hendrix, original instruments by composers such as Mozart and Beethoven to the climax: one of the coveted opera performances at Glyndebourne. Very British.

Go on a journey that could hardly be more British. Stop by Chartwell House, the retreat of Sir Winston Chrurchill, of which he simply said: "I love this place." Be amazed by the study of the statesman and man of letters and enchanted by the splendour of the golden rose path. You will encounter even more floral splendour and English estates in what is probably the most beautiful and magnificent garden in England - Great Dixter - and in Rye Castle, Bodiam Castle and Savill Garden. For example, you can look forward to herbaceous borders and rose gardens, peat beds and a bog garden, the Jubilee Garden, a dry garden and a heated greenhouse named after the Queen Mother. As you can see: This trip is a royal treat for your eyes and ears.

"Music is the universal language. Everyone understands it - big or small, young or old, in Alaska or Cyprus. It goes straight to the heart - without translation and very emotional. That is why we have composed a very special musical journey to England. A journey rich in highlights such as pretty gardens and parks, visits to old masters like Handel and modern classics like Hendrix. But this musical feast is crowned by one of the much sought-after performances at Glyndebourne. In typical, very British fashion, you will enjoy opera combined with a picnic served by your personal valet. Yes, very British, indeed."
