ince 1971, Dailey-Thorp has created deluxe, escorted opera and music tours worldwide for those who value great music. The first company of its kind, Dailey-Thorp creates tours centered around outstanding musical events and enhances these with a uniquely tailored program of art tours, sightseeing, accommodations in leading hotels, gourmet meals and social events. Everything is planned to provide a leisurely itinerary along with ample free time for individual interests. Each tour in our comprehensive program is custom-made, reflecting the most attractive combination of performing and fine arts events available. In 2002 Dailey-Thorp moved headquarters from New York City to Wyoming, but many of the same team who have been serving you all these years are still very much involved in planning, operating and leading tours. In addition to our worldwide travel program, Dailey-Thorp also offers opera tour weekends in New York City to feature performances at the Metropolitan Opera. Choice orchestra seats guarantee a great experience. The tours for the 2010-2011 Season are on the website now, in a detailed day-by-day format; please click on NYC WEEKENDS to see all the details. To complement the opera tours, there are deluxe music theme cruises on the rivers and seas of Europe, stopping at key opera capitals along the ship's itinerary to attend performances. While on board, leading artists entertain with concerts that include operatic arias and classical piano recitals. One of our experienced tour managers accompanies each tour to take care of all the details and to handle individual needs or requests. Tour managers are all knowledgeable about opera, music and art, and are versed in languages. Close contact with the major opera houses and music festivals enables Dailey-Thorp to carefully plan each tour around the most sought-after performances worldwide and to guarantee good tickets. Many loyal clients have been traveling with Dailey-Thorp for years. Come and enjoy great music and art and the camaraderie of fellow travelers.
