Although this DVD outlines the basic story accompanied by lovely images and a well-written narrative, there is no way to capture what Chautauqua really is. Once you go, you are driven to return again and again and again. It is everything expressed in the other reviews, and MORE. My children are 5th generation "Chautauquans," and our love for this magical place is deep in our soul. The peace, beauty, endless enrichment opportunities, but most of all, the people who go make this a unique and unforgettable experience.

I had heard the name Chautauqua, but would not have been able to say what it signified. As I may soon be able to travel, I now know one place I must go every year. A vacation where not only the mind and body are feted but also the soul. Ballet, symphony, art, theater, opera, academia, cycling, scenery, the fellowship of like-minded people, what could be more idyllic or inspiring?

The producers of the program did a wonderful job of presenting the essence of the experience of Chautauqua. That is a tough job, but they succeeded so well.

Where else can you go and combine religion, symphony, ballet, theatre, politics, children programs, adult learning classes, and lectures on current and interesting topics? Chautauqua what else? No other place can begin to fill the shoes Chautauqua does. It is the perfect family meeting place. My husband has been going there for over 55 years. How thankful I am that he introduced me to it over 43 years ago. What a tranquil beautiful place it is for studying, relaxing, reading, and improving ones self. Give yourself that wonderful gift!!!!!
