I want to take my 75-year-old mom to a great ballet for her birthday. The only thing is, we need a nonstop flight from Chicago. Doesn’t matter where as long as it’s a special experience. Any ideas?
What time of year? Paris Ballet at Palais Garnier is an amazing option. Plus, you could make a whole luxury trip out of Paris!
Chicago already has some incredible ballet performances. New York and Los Angeles have great options too. And if you’re thinking internationally, every major city in Europe and many in Asia have world-class ballet.
If you want a mix of traditional and modern performances, you can’t beat the Royal Ballet in London. You didn’t mention when her birthday is, but keep in mind most ballets are performed between fall and spring. It can be tricky to find something during the summer months.
I second the Royal Ballet in London! Have you figured out what time of year her birthday is? That could help narrow down your options.
