A very affordable ideal evening out. Having a beverage at intermission under the stars was lovely. The performers were great. Even if you are not an opera lover, you would love the evening. The performance was designed to give you a taste of being at the opera. Guaranteed to delight most individual individuals of any age.

This is a nice short taste of opera. There is a tenor and a soprano. They sing arias solo and together.

A rather brief show, but very entertaining. The performers were extremely talented and showed a little bit of humor for the last part of the show, which was very good. Not being experienced with opera’s, this was a nice introduction. It lasted about an hour and 15 minutes, including the 15 minute intermission.. I was a little disappointed at the number of people who were holding up their phones and filming during the performances. I felt that this was disrespectful to the performers and also takes away from the performance for the attendees. that said, I would certainly recommend to anyone.

I recommend it because it is not too long to schedule during your stay

Opera singers and pianist presented a wonderfully performed areas. Location was ok, the venue was smelly.⁸

We really enjoyed the opera. It was our first night in Taormina. Since we got in late afternoon, it was a nice treat for something to do after dinner on the first day. The singers and pianist were excellent.

It was a great experience seeing an Opera in Italy Taormina. The singers were experience singers and sung a well known selection of songs. An enjoyable night.

Beautiful, voices and well done. Pianist was fabulous. We throughly enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend.
Jenny_K, Oct 2025
I should start by saying that I'm not knowledgeable about opera. This was a perfect-length sampling of operatic songs sung by a duo. The performance was the right length, at around an hour and 15 minutes. The singers sounded good. I'd have preferred it slightly if all of the pieces were really popular. As it was, I recognized maybe half. At $36, I'm giving it 5 stars.
Patricia_T, Oct 2025
We cried, clapped, sang, and laughed. The soprano and tenor were incredibly talented, along with the maestro. It’s a memory to last a lifetime.

This concert was cancelled at the last minute. We were greeted by a lady at the door of the opera house giving us an email address from which to get a refund
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Dear Mrs Jane Crawley,
We are sorry for what happened, but it seems you went to the wrong venue.
At Italian Opera Taormina the performance took place regularly, as it does every day from Monday to Friday.
Best regards,
Italian Opera Taormina

My husband wasn't keen when I booked this and neither of us had been to an Opera but we both really enjoyed it. A great experience when in Italy. Great performance and snacks and prosecco in the internal, would recommend :)

Maria_C, Sept 2025

David_P, Sept 2025
Sheer joy to experience two powerful singers, accompanied by maestro pianist, delivering a selection of beautiful arias.
Michelle_V, Sept 2025
A short but extremely lovely opera experience. 2 hours of amazing music and singing. The pianist was an incredible talent and the singers the perfect accompaniment. Definitely recommend for a taste of opera
Malcolm_Y, Sept 2025
This was a very enjoyable 1 hour show.
Two singers were excellent and so was pianist.
Second half of performance sung more recognisable songs.
Two encores-well deserved
REYNALDO_Y, Sept 2025
I understood only a few words but I was surely entertained. The 2 singers and pianist were awesome. Well organized and Opera started promptly.
Diane_M, Sept 2025
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The music and voices are wonderful! Highly recommend!
Anna_S, Sept 2025
The Italian Opera is a nice way to spend a couple of hours in the evening. All the performers were brilliant and entertaining. We got the basic ticket but sat in the 3rd row (it’s not a big theatre) front 2 rows were reserved for the VIP tickets. I was looking forward to the interval on the veranda where a glass of Prosecco was waiting for us. I thought we would have an interrupted view of Taormina at night but the veranda was enclosed by a wire fence so not what I was expecting.
Sandra_S, Aug 2025
We loved it! We wish it was a little bit longer. Highly recommend.
Snacks could have been better.
Thank you!
Dean_G, Aug 2025
Excellent taster of Opera.
I thoroughly enjoyed the performances- The Tenor, Soprano and the Maestro were superb. A great evening. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Terence_M, July 2025
I never thought i would enjoy opera, but i did. My wife cried. It was very good. Everything was as promised. Only bad was Viators lack of desription for the address. It is there, but hidden amongst all other info. Very easy to find physically.
Michelle_P, July 2025
Truly remarkable performances by all! My husband & I were captivated by the voices of both singers as well as the pianist. Such a wonderful way to experience opera music in Italy. Highly recommend this experience. You will not be disappointed!
Don_W, June 2025
Easily walkable from the centre of Taormina. Popular arias from well know operas with a tenor and soprano accompanied by a pianist. Charming little theatre with drinks and snacks provided in the interval. Starts at 9:15 pm and lasts for a couple of hours. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Donna_W, May 2025
This opera experience was just right. I wanted to experience Italian opera while in Italy, but did not think I could sit through a whole full opera so this really hit the spot. It's a small intimate theater with excellent singers and musicians.
The only problem was that it was difficult to find and surprisingly none of the shopkeepers could give us directions
karen_g, May 2025
This was such a highlight to pur trip. The venue was great. The opera singers were unbelievable. The nice touch of prosecco was terrific. This is a must! Run! Don't walk. What a fabulous evening.
