I’m hoping to find a fantastic ballet to take my mom, who is 75, for her birthday. The only thing I need is a nonstop flight from Chicago, anywhere in the world.
What time of year are you thinking? If it’s the right season, the Paris Ballet at Palais Garnier is amazing. You could have a luxurious trip in Paris too.
Don’t forget, Chicago has world-class ballet too. New York and Los Angeles have great options as well. Plus, almost every major city in Europe and Asia has something good.
If you want the best ballet with a mix of traditional and contemporary shows, check out the Royal Ballet in London. You didn’t mention her birthday, but remember that most ballet shows happen from fall to spring. It might be tricky to find something in May-August in the Northern Hemisphere.
I definitely recommend the Royal Ballet at the Opera House in London! Do you know when her birthday is?
