This was the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. We had a fantastic 6 days in the city, but this was our favourite. The music was wonderful and the dancing exquisite. I thoroughly recommend it.

Would give Americans heart failure.…

The conductor Lorenzo Viotti was stunning extracting every nuance of the music from the extraordinary orchestra. Their opening music of the Rusticana opera was stunning. It was an amazing night.…
