So friendly at front of house.
Such amazing local talent. A truly enjoyable evening! Would recommend to anyone, including those that might not think they would enjoy the opera.
well worth it! the tenor, soprano and pianist were all amazing and show was in a lovely small venue and the intermission provided some snacks and a glass of bubbles and it was all lit up. very pretty and almost enjoyable evening!
Brilliant show, amazing singers, most enchanting location. Far exceeded expectations and hospitality was superb .
Wonderful collection of songs, performed by an outstanding musicians! Beautiful voices & excellent pianist. An outstanding evening!
Unique experience . Must indulge in pre recital drink in garden . Amazing tenor , soprano and pianist . Must see when in Taorima
Fantastic experience. It was my first time at a live opera event and I loved it. A must-do for solo travellers
The venue was nice and for people who don't know much about opera the music was enjoyable especially in the second half.
Although we didn’t know the first 3 songs we still impressed by their singing and piano playing and the rest of the night was great with a couple of encores with good humour
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.
Wonderful experience for our first night in Taormina! Performance was great!
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.
FABULOUS!!! Fun! Excellent/outstanding professionals. Really a highlight of our Sicilian evenings !!!
Such a lovely performance, very talented singers and pianist. Several short pieces, with a short intermission. A very enjoyable evening!
It was a very enjoyable evening. It was very well run and the performers were wonderful, and with two encores! Thoroughly enjoyed it!!
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.
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.
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

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 :)
Small theater with folding chairs. Talented artists. Good location and good music. Outside area was lovely
Thoroughly enjoyed. The pianist, tenor and soprano were truly magnificent and the experience was sensational. Highly recommend
Sheer joy to experience two powerful singers, accompanied by maestro pianist, delivering a selection of beautiful arias.
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
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
I understood only a few words but I was surely entertained. The 2 singers and pianist were awesome. Well organized and Opera started promptly.
