The full Apfelstrudel!

Did you know that 2022 will be the fifty-seventh anniversary of The Sound of Music? I know, doesn’t time fly! Whether it be the endless re-runs at Christmas or a night out, dressed up as a nun in a cult sing-a-long, The Sound of Music has captured and continues to capture the hearts and voices of every generation from across the globe. In 1966, a year after its release, it became the highest-grossing film of all time – a position it held for five years, and today, the von Trapp craze shows no sign of slowing.

With all that in mind and after the gold lamé and platform boots of last year’s ABBA Singing Holiday in Croatia, we thought it might be a good idea to dust off a dirndl and pull on some Lederhosen for a Sound of Music Holiday reboot! So in May 2022, we’re off to climb every mountain and cheer up the odd random lonely goatherd in the beautiful, picturesque and sunny Austrian paradise that is Salzburg!

During your five-night stay, the fabulous Lizzie Deane will be eking out all your inner Julie (or Plummer) to re-create the best von Trapp choir of 2022. Whether you’re sixteen or going on seventy (or beyond), it’s time to say ‘So long’ and ‘Farewell’ to that everyday grind and ‘Hallo und Guten Tag’ to your ‘favourite things’ among some new friends with the very same passion.

Lizzie’s teaching is entertaining, funny and brilliant, so whether you’re pinned to the shower curtain of insecurity or, already out there giving it the full Apfelstrudel, she’s the perfect person to inspire the very best musical performance in you and the group. A three-hour singing workshop each morning will culminate in a spectacular performance by you (and Lizzie) on the final evening.

Staying in simple yet charming accommodation right in the centre, you’ll be literally on the doorstep of all the action. Whether its beer gardens, cafés, museums, river walks or a leisurely stroll through the old town, you’ll be perfectly positioned to take full advantage.

Of course, as well as Dame Julie, Salzburg is famous as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart so, perhaps we’ll also slip in a little musical tribute to the great man himself during your stay.

Unvarnished simplicity

As with all Singing Holidays, we like to stay in cosy and lovely accommodation. That could be a luxury villa in Sicily, a boutique hotel on the banks of the Grand Canal in Venice or equally a simple hostel. It’s never the stars awarded, or the price asked that determines our choice, but rather the people who run the accommodation and that intangible feeling one gets from just being there. Of course, the position is vital and the thoughtful little details by the host, crucial.

San Sebastián in Salzburg is a perfect example. This is a very simple accommodation, but Petra and all the ladies who work there are so lovely and good at what they do, they make the whole place somewhere special. The rooms are spotless and cosy, the breakfast delicious, and the position – right in the heart of Salzburg – perfect. There’s a wonderful feeling of calm and joy there which can’t be engineered with money, flat-screen TVs or deep-pile carpet. This is simple, unvarnished, honest living that is delightful.

The church of San Sebastián is famous for many reasons, not least the Mozart family who reside in the garden. I say the garden, I mean in the cemetery. So, well within earshot of our lonely goatherd! Lucky them!

Experts

All of our experts are obviously outstanding, inspirational artists, however they’re also lovely human beings. Their priority will always be 100% on you and your development. They are an integral part of the week, so be prepared to make new friendships.

Friendship

You can expect to be among like-minded people who love to sing. You can expect a supportive, non-judgemental group and many laughs.

Nurtured and taken care of

Témi and Alex organize and run every Singing Holidays event. Unlike most holiday companies, we’re with you from first contact right through to our sad farewells at the end of your stay. There are no reps, no faceless office staff, no strangers picking you up from an airport. Just us.

Food and accommodation

Témi and Alex spend weeks recceing each holiday, so you can get the very best from your stay. Nothing is by chance — we check every restaurant, we eat every menu, we jump on every bed, we take a toothbrush and magnifying glass to every bathroom, skirting board and wardrobe. When you arrive, you can relax in the knowledge that we’ve well and truly done our homework.

Direct contact

From first encounter to said farewells at the end of your holiday, you’ll be in direct contact with either Alex or Témi. Singing Holidays has been running events in Italy and beyond since 2010, and one of our core values is to also keep things small and contained, so we can give you the best experience.

Insurance & data protection

Singing Holidays Ltd has full liability insurance cover with First Underwriting Ltd. We adhere to GDPR to protect your privacy and any data you submit via our website or sister website singingnest.com is secured with 128-bit SSL encryption.

Covid-19

Booking a holiday during a pandemic isn’t for the faint-hearted. However, if you book a Singing Holidays event, and then you are unable to travel due to mandatory country restrictions, then you will be eligible for a full refund (including any ‘non-refundable’ deposit payment).
