While all of our learning adventures offer extraordinary value, our "Best Value" programs were rated by our participants themselves who thought their dollar went particularly far.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
Celebrate the career and vocal art of soprano Maria Callas who became a legend thanks to her uniquely expressive voice and mastery of bel canto vocal technique fused with dramatic interpretation as no one before or since. As “Opera News” observed just a few years ago, she remains the definition of the diva as artist.


Highlights

• Compare the performances of Callas in "Traviata," "Lucia," "Norma," and "Tosca" with other greats such as Tebaldi, Price, and Sutherland.
• Learn about bel canto, a singing style that originated in Italy during the 17th century and reached its pinnacle in the works of composers such as Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini.
• Attend Peabody Conservatory recitals and concerts performed by resident artists and exceptionally talented students, with free access to world-class Walters Art Museum.
