A few of our many unsolicited comments from our many satisfied Client Participants on International Curtain Call’s Opera and Music Tours.

“Thank you Jerry for planning everything so well. I love your opera choices and enjoy being with opera lovers! This was a great one!”Kathy Lemieux2019 Vienna Munich Tour

“I thoroughly enjoyed the trip you arranged for the San Francisco Ring Cycle. You take care of every detail, thanks. The seminars were also excellent...I think it was the most thrilling Ring I have seen. The conception was timeless and very apt today. All in all, a great trip.”Janet Nelson 2018 San Francisco Ring Tour

“I thought the Zambello production was extraordinary, as was Runnicles’ conducting. The accomodations were very fine and the choice of restaurants, menu and wine were truly gourmet. Thank you for an enriching experience.”Robert Oldershaw 2018 San Francisco Ring Tour

“Seven International Curtain Call tours with Jerry and we can’t wait to join him again. His trips are well organized, with very com-fortable hotel rooms. outstanding meals, ans always superb performances, with excellent seats. Most of the time no binoculars needed. He takes the time to get it right, when some of us would just take okay for an answer. Congratulations Jerry on another outstanding tour. This time the San Francisco Ring.Craig and Jane Maccloskey 2018 San Francisco Ring Tour

“Dear Jerry: I have just returned home from your International Curtain Call 2017 Italy Summer Music Festivals Tours which included one ballet and 6 operas in the Italian cities of Milan, Verona and Venice. This is a letter of recommendation for anyone who may consider joining you for a similar trip in the future. It is my understanding that you have been planning and guiding music festival trips for many years, and this trip certainly reflected your expertise in seeing that the tour participants had an optimal experience. First of all, I have struggled on my own many times to buy musical performance tickets in famous venues across Europe, and I have paid very high prices for sometimes the worst of seats. I was thrilled beyond words that every performance we attended with you, Jerry, seated us in some of the best orchestra seats in the house, never back of row 8 but usually closer. What a luxury for me after my previous experiences!”Creta Carter Nichols,2017 July Italy Tour

“I am planning to attend the next opera tour Jerry Glaser organizes because of my extraordinary experience on this Italy tour that I enjoyed so much. I came on the tour alone but quickly met the other tourists who were extremely accomplished and kind, and that also made this trip a joy for me.”Dr. Barbara Brodsky2017 Italy Tour

“Dear Jerry, two weeks after getting back from the Gala Europe Music Festival Tour 2016, we are still feeling the excitement and joy, we have a hard time resuming our normal life, and it is like the best “hangover”! Thank you, Jerry, for organizing this wonderful tour! What a treat for us! You planned the trip impeccably by offering the best seats in the opera houses, top hotel accommodation, gourmet food with wine in the top restaurants in the world, plus well planned museum and scenery trips, in culture rich cities and world class venues. We experienced them all, and love them all. We are so glad we found you in the Opera News and went to this amazing tour with you! Hopefully we will join you again in the near future!”Ping Zhou and Jianmei ZhengJuly 21, 2016

“The trip [2015 Italy Summer Festivals Tour] was ‘magical’, every detail taken care of, well planned, very well organized. It was a dream vacation- one that I will never forget. Thank you Jerry & Elena for making it possible & for all your hard work.”Veronica SzaboJuly 3, 2015

“As Peruvians, Florencia and I would like to leave a message for Spanish speakers.We went with Jerry and ICC (International Curtain Call) to Vienna to see the cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen accompanied by our good friends and couple Maria Amalia and Augusto Ferrero. It was a truly magnificent tour. The hotel, the reception, the quality of the other guests, the opera houses, the outings, the meals and the excellent service – all this made for an unforgettable experience. We unequivocally recommend this. For us who came from far away, it is amazing how everything was made easy for us to enjoy our love of music without worrying about anything.”Vicente SilvaJune 23, 2015

“I thoroughly enjoyed the “Ring Experience” and the other operas selected. What an education. Thank you for including interesting and informative out-of-town excursions as well as scheduling tours of the major Viennese attractions. Perfect weather, interesting co-travelers, and our visit to the Winery Family Brustbauer combined to make an unforgettable journey for me that I will long remember. Mustn’t forget the stellar opening and closing dinners which were fun and delicious. My trip to Vienna was number one on my “bucket list”. Thanks for making this tour an outstanding event for me. I’ll never forget.”Mary D. NelsonJuly 5, 2014
