Chances are you’re always on the lookout for a good reason to take a vacation. With all the bad economic news of late, the idea of just getting the heck out of town for a while sounds more appealing than ever.

Instead of just seeing the sites, have you ever considered taking a unique tour around the world in pursuit of something like…Opera?
