This is a very flexible itinerary. Except for confirmed appointments and performances, the
places of interest and the sequence of sightseeing might be changed if necessary or desirable. In
the event of an unavoidable conflict in the performance and the sightseeing schedule, the
concert schedule will prevail, and it may be necessary to exclude some sightseeing activities.
