Trips and Tours

​​Join UK Opera Director Dr Everett McCorvey and UK Opera Coach Dr Tedrin Blair Lindsay for this once-in-a-lifetime         6-day/5 night trip to St. Louis to enjoy all four productions of the St. Louis Opera Theatre’s 2019 season; Rigoletto, Marriage of Figaro, Fire Shut Up in My Bones, and Coronation of Poppea.  Starring UK Opera Alumni Monica Dewey and Mary Hollis Hundley as well as American Spiritual Ensemble singer Karen Slack.

In addition to nightly opera attendance there will be an opportunity to visit the St. Louis Art Museum, renowned for one of the finest collections of original works of art spanning five millennia and six continents.   Tour the 79-acre Missouri Botanical Garden, an oasis in the city and the nation’s oldest botanical garden in continuous operation.  Ride to the top of the famous Gateway Arch.  Relax on a leisurely paddle-boat cruise up the mighty Mississippi, watch a St. Louis Cardinal's baseball game and enjoy a behind-the-scene with St. Louis Opera cast and directors.
