Franceline's Cultural Tours

Editor's Note: This company is no longer accepting new clients.

A visit to the best English speaking theatre includes more then just Broadway and Franceline’s Cultural Tours takes you there. Where is there you ask? Well, Franceline’s range of tour destinations for theatre encompasses three world-class cities.

London, of course, is a natural destination for theatre buffs. The inspiration of the great early modern authors, the city is home to a fantastic array of venues. The Globe, the West End, Covent Garden and the Barbican to name a few.

Fast-forward 400 years and the city of Dublin comes into it own as a breading ground of the literati. While Yeats is best known for his poetry, he was also instrumental in creating the first Irish National Theatre, the Abbey. The 20^th century saw Dublin grow in prominence as a cultural capital and the city now host one of the world’s best theatre festivals.

On the other side of the globe, or should I say under-side, we have Sidney. Most people recognize it’s famous Opera House but the “House” is also home to a wide variety of performing arts and theatre plays a large part in Sidney’s contemporary culture. London’s finest actors can occasionally be found on the boards of Sidney’s theatres.

Theatre is just a small part of Franceline’s Cultural Tours available itineraries. Opera and other performing arts packages are available. Franceline’s Cultural Tours create trips for groups and independent travelers to historically and culturally important destination throughout Europe, Russia and the Far East.
