Italy School Performing Arts trips

The activ4 performing arts programmes in this fabulous region of Italy have been a great success for a number of reasons.

Our School Performing Arts trips to Italy are so popular simply because of the quality of our tutors. Many are requested by party leaders year after year and help in a range of capacities. They create bespoke pieces used in coursework as well as help direct innovative group productions. The tutors on our Italy School Performing Arts trips are true experts in their field.

Secondly, our Italy School Performing Arts trips are a great success due to the composition of the programme. Apart from the fabulous workshops, visits can include exciting trips to Verona with its amphitheatre and Shakespearean overtones. We also visit the unique city of Venice with its canals, gondolas and magnificent architecture. There are also the beautiful lakeside towns of Peschiera and Sermione as well as Gardaland which we are reliably informed is the 8th most popular theme park in Europe.

Verona or Venice

Where it’s held

The lake itself is fringed by small towns and Garda itself is on the eastern shore with its cobbled streets and pretty shops. Peschiera which is close to the Paradiso and Belvedere hotels is a quaint little fortress town dating back to the 1400’s. It has a lovely lakeside promenade and marina which are simply perfect on a summers evening.

The Lake Garda area provides a great base for discovering Milan and all it has to offer; The magnificent La Scala opera house, fashion shopping in La Galleria, the magnificent spectacle of Il Duomo and the historical castle. The cultural centre of the region, Verona is even closer with its spectacular Roman amphitheatre and its Shakesperian overtones with Juliet’s Balcony.
